Quote:And if Mozart had died at 72 rather than 36, who knows what he might have done. The point is to judge people by what they did, not by setting them against the most prolific, long-lived musicians ever, and then criticizing them for their failure to live up to that standard. How many BB Kings are there? Bob Dylans? Even Willie Nelsons? There's a reason these people are living legends.Right. But, MJ didn't die 25 years ago either.
I tried to get tickets for AC/DC recently, and beyond being $250 each, they were entirely sold out in every city near enough for me to attend. A good show is a good show, I don't discount that. But, superstar???
