AMEN, Joe. I agree with you. And, we all have such different tastes, too.
So, whose to say who is right and who is wrong. As far as I'm concerned,
there is no right or wrong. That's why this kind of discussion always winds
up in arguments because everyone thinks so differently. What you like, I
might not like, etc.. I bet there are only a handful of performers that
still sound as good as they did in their prime. My brother just saw Richie
Furay formerly of Poco and the Buffalo Springfield and he said he is every
bit as good now as he was back in the early '70s. That's a rarity, I would
think.
