I'm ready to undersign the said below. This thread is too critical to what seems to me a personal attitude. His music is his own way (to live, to express, to inform or just fool around). He's done lots of serious stuff but if he makes fun no snobbish approach should be made. I love what he made before, especially classics collection, but come to daddy is loved by me as well and I cannot understand why you dissect him in such a way. Those're not his bad or good sides - they all are just his music. And music loved by many. Do not deny him if you could not grow (or get childish) along with his music cause that attitude smells like "you're not my hero anymore I've got another one cause you betrayed me...". I think it's stupid.
