Everything he's made since has been pretty shit. We should have known it was the end of an era when he bought that sports team not long after. So musically, he hasn't been relevant for TWO decades. One could argue he's still relevant in the way any billionaire is because he a lot of power and sway in the industry...but who really wants to see a halftime show from the husband of one of the most successful musical artists of all time? Sorry for the rant, I'm a bitter ex-fan. permalink fedilink source parent
