Actually Mark, those are the long lived acts...The Neil Youngs, David Bowies, Paul Simons, Madonnas etc...

The have entertained us for decades. They are not only good, but consistently good...but even they drop the ball every once in awhile, despite record company hype.

ie
Neil Young's Transformer
David Bowie's Low and Berlin years(at least to me)
Paul Simon's Rhythm of the Saints (maybe Graceland was too hard an act to follow)


If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
