Depends on if said billionaire is on fire or not.

New song's kinda cool: http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2010/07/hear_a_new_prince_song_laydown.html?mid=agenda--20100709

It's weird to me that he doesn't already live in France. You dig any particular Prince records?

Yankees smell the blood in the water and a 1/2 season of Lee is worth it to seal the division World Series and making sure he's a MFY before Boston can get a sniff is gravy.

Me too Scary stuff Lynch. Thanks for the detailed tale. Glad you and yours are okay.

Piling on the Owen Meany love. My favorite book.

You fuddy duddy!

He looks really good for someone whose 4 basic food groups for a decade or so were Cocaine, Cocaine, Lou Reed, and Cocaine.

D'Angelo - Voodoo

Wacky stuff for sure, but I can feel him here:

I think the only thing I can hate about Mo is he's so goddamned impossible to hate.

The Elevator Drops made some excellent glam-pop rock in the 90s.

Probably when their mishandling of Ellsbury's rehab gets leaked.

Nice. "Sick of Myself" is probably in my top ten songs of the 90s.

Matthew Sweet covered all those bases for me in the 90s.

Yay!

From a hardcore Stones fan, this general sentiment/list of things could come, too.

Yellow Submarine is a blast! Full speed ahead Mister Boatswain!

That's a whole other bowl of soup. Age prejudice in the arts only seems to be tolerated when it is directed at rock musicians.

I agree with all of this, but the point is what you're saying here contradicts your earlier fuddy-duddy post, which suggested to me that you think older artists should just fade away and collect royalties. Maybe I'm wrong, who cares.

Sometimes the term fits though. If you were saying that it's for the best that say, I don't know, Clapton, seemed to be 'fading away' and enjoying collecting royalties, I'd probably agree. But Bowie, while no doubt not at the height of power anymore, put out records in the 90s that signified he was still the chameleon artist doing stuff that, if nothing else, challenged him and didn't merely feed off his legacy.

That's just fuddy-duddy talk. His output is always interesting. If he is indeed 'fading away', it's good to hear it's on his terms, doing what he wants to do.
