nope. you are right on.
most of it doesn't hold up, and that's not just "old man in the room" talk.


when MJ was doing his thing, even the old heads said,
"yep. he's the real deal."


same thing goes for prince. and even madonna, in a way.
beyonce? no.



are there any musicians doing material
that can be held to the standards of greats of a previous era?


maybe kanye with his latest... i said before,
it's a minor classic. it's about as good as fleetwood mac's
"rumors."



so i know i'm not just an old man that's out of touch.
i know greatness when i see it.


beyonce ain't it.
