Well I disagree, Even if you didn't say it I think you heavily implied it.

I've not seen you say anything constructive yet. If you look at the majority of the posts in this thread most of them spell out what people like about Jackson & what they dislike , I don't consider that to be narrow minded at all. When are you and your buddy going to post something 'constructive' instead of being a Jackson apologist for everything.

i don't buy that argument unless you're telling me the average age in this joint is 13.
i've come across too many young music lovers who are fans of material beyond the marketed fluff put out by today's labels (or Disney) and before their time - actually all you hear on the net is bitching over how ****ed up our current industry is. a common issue is kids growing up listening to their parents' tastes and actually digging the music. and many others at the least can recognise and respect the foundational work which led to the inspiration of today's music (be it mainstream or 'underground'), otherwise why the toss would you be on a dedicated music board, lol.
i'm willing to take another intelligent guess and say that the young demographic you're referring to here are mainly fans of bands and acts who were in their prime from before our time.

I like how you chose to ignore the real point. There's nothing wrong with wanting to listen to old artists , but I would say a large majority of those old artists have never been in the news everyday with odd behaviour rather than for their music. But he over relies on his back catalogue and his new material is weak. People want bands they can relate to. Jackson has been out of touch for decades and is in his 50s. He might get new fans from his old material but the point is he's never going to make any huge significant fans with his new material. And that's without even mentioning the fact he slept with kids either.
