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.
