...obviously he doesn't give a $#!+ now, no more than he did back then (pun intended), and his so-called comeback was arguably marginal from a 'happening' POV (except for those giggly housewives and the mainstream media), and certainly not as vital as other music in the late 60's & early 70's.Furthermore (just to cut the slats out from under your rather trivial argument), one exception, even if it can be adequately defended, doesn't rewrite the rule. In other words, I stand by what I said (quote): "...those pop groups and individual musicians who were capable of adjusting their styles to the volatility of the times survived and those who didn't became less relevant; it was very Darwinian."
