I couldn't imagine why. So I clicked on "Why was I recommended this?" The answer: "Because you purchased or rated 'Ruby in a Nutshell'" Actually, that makes more sense than some of the others. For example, I was recommended the Goldberg Variations (played by Murray Perahia) because I purchased or rated the pickaxe. (Rated, as it happens.) Lord of the Rings soundtrack: because I rated "Mastering Regular Expressions". And so on. No Kenny Rogers on the list.
