Amazon.com's current top five music sellers are all from "oldies":

1. Guilty Pleasures (Barbra Streisand)
2. Have a Nice Day (Bon Jovi)
3. Chaos and Creation in the Backyard (Paul McCartney)
4. Prarie Wind (Neil Young)
5. A Bigger Bang (Rolling Stones)

Nice to see the Kayne Wests of the industry at number 10.

I'd rather have Kanye West at #1 than Barbra Streisand.

I'd rather have 10 Kanye Wests at the top than Barbara 'my singing tortures cats' stressland or Bon 'my albums are stuck in the denim land' Jovial! The rest are good though.

That's sort of cool except that I now feel about a thousand years old by you referring to Bon Jovi as "oldies". :wink1:

I didn't mean "oldies" as in years, I meant they've been around the business longer than a year or two.

That's ok even if you did mean it the other way. I have to get used to it sometime, right? :wink1:

I was at this show recently that was advertised as featuring "The best oldies tribute bands in the area" and they had a Beatles cover band and a Stones cover band and an Everly Brothers cover band and....a U2 cover band, so again, my contemporaries are "oldies" now. Sigh.

:rolleyes:

I wouldn't! Kanye West is a moron - especially from what I saw of the benefit concert for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Not everyone likes Barbara Streisand - but she is a talented actress and singer.

Are you upset cause you can't get your head around the idea Kanye West might be right about the Bush Administration being fundamentally racist?

Why? Is it because she stinks more the older she gets? :laugh5:
