Besides, if Billy somehow wrote a number one hit we'd never hear the end of it from him. All of a sudden the charts wouldn't be such bullshit after that according to him. |

SP only has had four top 40 singles, of which the highest charting song was "1979" which peaked at #12. |

Bowie might be hit or miss, but Billy's always been one of rock's worst lyricists. |

Idk... I think that there's a nostalgia factor or something in people wanting to defend his pre-reunion lyrics. Analyzing his early stuff it doesn't really hold water. There are certainly moments here and there, but as a whole during any period Billy's lyrical prowess has been suspect at best and horrid at worst.

Even at his lowest shittiest points Bowie was filling stadiums and arenas.
It's kinda shocking how Billy can't even bring in nostalgia crowds. Hell Def Leppard and Heart draw a bigger a crowd. |

A ton of Billy's lyrics have aged absolutely awfully, but he's still at least better or on par with Adam Duritz and Ed Kowalczyk... Nowhere near Creed or Nickelback levels of terribleness.

sasha still has porn star eyebrows and is starting to look old before her time. I don't know much about airplane but I doubt she's threatened at all by someone who has a "pussy n ass" toy bearing her name

Also odd - while obviously of far less true consequence - is the lack of Jeff. Saw that Ginger Reyes was there, that's kinda neat. Again: where did the Darcy was there rumor originate from? |

The day before JIMMY CHAMBERLIN was in Northbrook/Ilinois, giving drum lessons at a school.
And on Billy's birthday he gave birthday wishes to a "Freddy"...:

I hear that Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday made the #1 spot. Must be due to pure artistic talent right.. Better to be a #hashtag No.1 JLo + Iggy Azalea schlock fest than anything less than the best of life. |

I pointed out that Bowie saw and subsequently took advantage of an opportunity to collaborate with John Lennon and got a popular song out of it that so happened to reach #1. I went on to point out the fact that despite "Fame" being a co-write with two other people didn't diminish David Bowie's contributions to it or his integrity as a songwriter. In fact, it only increased public awareness of Bowie as an artist (signified by "Fame" being a hit song). |
