Jim, You said:

Simplistic is perhaps a better word. There has been some great three chorders but that is not my point. I use the word crap as to mean nothing more than she is nothing special or out of the ordinary.
I know I said I wouldn't continue this but John V NAILED it. We love ya Big Jim. We just want you to respect our opinions, not call a lot of us stupid and gullible and too clueless to realize what you hage deemned as fact.

One more thing...I'd say if you can make millions of dollars with 3 chords, and don't HAVE to get more complicated than that,
you've got a handle on something other than mastery of the publicity stunt. Many have tried and failed...J Lo comes to mind as one who looked a lot better, made a LOT bigger splash, did the payola thing, you name it. But in the end she couldn't back it up with the musical goods. Now it's J who? That disproves your theory that talent isn't an issue...lock stock and barrel.

Here's where you might consider saying, "I don't agree at all , but who knows Bill, maybe I'm wrong and you're right. I guess time will tell." instead of, "Bill, you're a clueless gullible fool."

With respect,

Bill
