Who's still around of the megastar recording artists of that particular bit of the past that our generation calls the classic era? Musical midgets like: Half the Beatles Most of the Rolling Stones Three quarters of Led Zeppelin Bob Dylan Joni Mitchell and Neil Young still representing Canada, although The Band have almost entirely gone Springsteen, if you must Some Beach Boys, if you absolutely must The butter salesman from the Sex Pistols Billy Joel Elton John Rod Stewart Half of The Who Barbra Streisand One Bee Gee Simon & Garfunkel Antivax embarrassments Van Morrison and Eric "send 'em back" Clapton Various fragments of Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac & Genesis Et cetera. Maybe even et Peter Cetera, because Chicago were pretty big for a while. 1 Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.
