For the most part this statement is true, but there are a lot of very good singer-songwriters working today. It's just that radio isn't attracted to that genre anymore. Music lovers have to go looking for it. It's out there.

IMHO, this is the single greatest singer-songwriter album in history, and there are a lot of good to great ones. If Prime had never made another one he still would have gone down in history for this. Does anyone agree with me?

I never heard that story before. I'm glad Ben was OK. OTOH, I was never a fan even though he produced Michael Buble because he's the man who ruined Chicago (the band).

#phillies It's time to change the rules & allow the official scorer some discretion on assigning the winning pitcher. There's no way Alvarado deserves that win.

Billy Joel said his loud concerts gave him his equilibrium problems. He had brain surgery to fix it. So, I guess rock 'n roll is just as dangerous as football. www.msn.com/en-us/entert...
