If I understand right, you're saying that some musicians who are well liked, are able to thrive on their old music, while releasing new material that might not even be listened to. On the other hand, other musicians who aren't necessarily good at what Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16223849.post-11351401526503413082008-11-23T17:54:00.000-08:002008-11-23T17:54:00.000-08:00You've kinda proved my point with your examples.

AC/DC may have put out another new album of what they do, but it's irrelevant, and precious few of their millions of fans will buy it. All there people who are still making new music aren't really making anything their fans want to hear.Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15995741186393767934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16223849.post-60127749806037260692008-11-23T17:41:00.000-08:002008-11-23T17:41:00.000-08:00Dude, had Freddie Mercury lived, I don't think he ...Dude, had Freddie Mercury lived, I don't think he would hav gone down the gutter. Also, Van Halen isn't doing too bad. In fact, they are touring as I write this. People still love Aerosmith, and go to see them whenever they tour. Robert Plant is currently touring with a folk singer. AC/DC just put out an album. Bruce is still kicking ass.

But simply because you like her and believe she had something to offer does not alter the reality that few artists, if any, who lived past their prime actually continued with a solid and respectable career. For example, John Belushi died, is now a legend.

Janis Joplin had a unique voice, but it was her passion that compelled her. Had she lived, she would not have been a washed up hag, she would have been a product of her generation.

June the waitress and myself would hate the emotional effect that it would have on us during our workday so I'd often push the hidden reject button behind the bar.
