What country still has music?

Music is more diverse and more available then ever these days. As a whole, it mostly sounds pretty darn good these days to me as well, though not always perfect.

Like John Harbough likes to say, "Who's got it better than us?".

>> Beautiful and wealthy <<

I notice you didn't include "musically talented" in your description - good on ya!

Wealthy because beautiful, talented and likable as well it would seem.

Not to mention multi-racial appeal and a catchy name.

Beyonce', the perfect storm?

And, let's face it, her SuperBowl performance was eminently forgettable. The Stones, Prince, and Michael Jackson had much better - and memorable - shows...

"And, let's face it, her SuperBowl performance was eminently forgettable."

Yes, but aren't they all?

Its more about being as over the top as possible without breaking any social taboos. A big name star is required.

I'm a big Stones and Who fan, and can tolerate MJ and Madonna, but their appearances were all forgettable as well other than the fact they occurred at Super Bowl halftime. Its a football game and spectacle, not a music conservatory!
