My thoughts exactly, but I still seem to find that a point made earlier about how he did write Adore after quite a bit of years of large success... but, he had major life-changing events occur, i.e. his mother died, Jimmy OD/Melvoin death, Yelena, and MEGA-stardom (different from SD-era success). So, even though stardom of sorts, distorts his perspective and alters his connection with us, there will still be events in his life that in some way are relatable with us.

Who knows, Bill Sr. might die before the next album and we'll get the best rock record of all-time.
