Yes, you're saying that Michael Jackson is not popular NOW. I agree, to an extent. Despite him not being popular NOW, he was popular THEN, so he still fills seats. However, I'm saying that Michael Jackson's level of popularity was so great that it blurs any NOW-THEN distinction. Pearl Jam has never reached a level where their popularity would span generations. They had their time, and now they play regular arena shows and enjoy middling album sales. Like the Smashing Pumpkins.
