i actually don't mind his stuff from the 80s. i think it's pretty hard to make music that has such broad appeal. there is a lot of bad pop (see: kanye west imitators, "rock" bands on top 40 stations, modern country) but i think he put out some enduring records. most of his semi-recent work was pretty worthless, though.
can't say if he's guilty. i've tried to ignore this as much as possible; i'm wondering what the next distraction will be.
