"recent", really. How old are you?
She was making pop when I was at school and that was a while ago now.

I am old enough to remember "like a virgin", to say nothing of "Evita".

But pop America music of low taste and high self absorption has existed since long before that, to antediluvian times if I am not mistaken.  

But in her early days she had a certain slutty charm which does not translate well to a woman of, I presume, her mid seventies.

Is it true that Germany is better at making (or most known for) sweet white wines than for other kinds?  And do you know of any good vegan German wines that are exported to America?

No, that's a terrible terrible misconception because in the 70s and 80s, large amounts of sweet low quality wine have been exported from Germany. Quality has much improved since then due to various initiatives to limit quantity and a new quality-oriented philosophy. The true strength of German wine making is *dry*, mineral white wines - Riesling, Silvaner, Müller-Thurgau, and ...pinot blanc... with a richness that you don't really find anywhere else (I know of) once you get used to it.

By vegan wine, you mean ones that are fined without gelatine or egg?

In my humble opinion, if you want to taste some things that exhibit these typical qualities, go to the home of my alma mater and try the stuff that's grown here:

I have never had a good German wine. and I've had a lot of wine A LOT OF WINE.
