Name your lame duck artist........

I appreciate your taking the time to explain even though I will never be convinced. Likewise, I know I could sit here praising the virtues of some great hip-hop and I know I will never manage to convert some people (not that this was your intention). There are horses for courses. I am glad that you are getting pleasure from something that I could possibly be missing though. Hey, you really should give that song a listen, the whole CD probably isn't up to his early stuff and I am left scratching my head why anybody would put it out. I would also be first to admit that I am not much of a poetry person (in spoken word) and that obviously colors my perception of the guy.
I could probably appreciate him more if he stuck to poetry and not music, or maybe music without the poetry.
I have tried in the past and I will again try to appreciate him but I hold about as much hope in that as Beyonce leaving her man for me.

Cor blimey Thomas my old china, Beyonce might leave her man for you, especially if you talk the plummy Queen's English, after all did she not fancy Austin Powers?. Americans love an English accent.

I guess I would personally throw Kid Rock on my list of no talent ass clowns. I did hear he can actually play an instrument (not sure which one), but that doesn't make him a musician. I played the trumpet in the school orchestra 30 years ago and I've never claimed to be a musician.

Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit is not only a Lame Duck, he's a douche bag. First for naming his band that, and second, for somehow convincing himself and fans that he had "street cred".

As a front man and musically, he's a talentless prick. Although, I do have to give him credit as a fledgling director for the 2009 movie "The Education of Charlie Banks". It had none of his onstage wanna-be, from the 'hood, street attitude. Surprising, to say the least.

Grateful Dead - Didn't know who these guys were when I first came to the US then all these people started telling me how "far out" and "right on" they were. I finally said "righteous brother" and went out and bought Skeletons in the Closet, gave it one listen and tossed it in the closet.

I forgot to also mention Whitesnake.
