Writers on the storm
I voted for time off, but that won't matter. He has always been one to move forward rather than tread water. A shame because if he could just have tread water during his most popular period when he had EDILS and Suedehead playing on MTV even for just a few years he might have made it into today's public consciousness.
Interesting how he mentioned The Beatles and I believe the Rolling Stones as two of his favorite ten artists who took the stage where he recently played. Well, he should have ripped a page from their playbook if he wanted to leave a more lasting impression on today's youth. I can claim witness that every twenty-something I work with has no idea who he is or that he was relevant at one point. Most music today is created to be placed upon advertisements to sell product (see Imagine Dragons Believer.) I really liked this song until I saw it over an Apple advert.
To be completely honest, his popular music days are behind him, no fifty-something artist is going to be relevant to the youth of their time, nor should they be. His music lies buried in the sand only to be found with the help of a well healed guide, or an internet map that leads one to the pot of gold only to be replaced in its spot for the next lucky treasure hunter to find.
