Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music?

I saw the Black Eyed Peas in PA last night and all I can say is WOW. The whole production was over the top with a futuristic Science Fiction vibe. The music was like no other with so many influences its hard to classify as any one style.
The bottom end literally moved my hair and clothes.
The audience was a wide variety of fans. Many parents brought their children, 10,11 years old. The crowd was white, black, Asian, young, old (me) and happy.
I recommend you go see this show when the opportunity presents itself. It is history in the making.

You know when they sell out (um, 'let's get it started in here'? anybody remember that?), that it all goes downhill from there and just becomes about selling tickets and records to kids 14 and under.

Fergie apparently was a meth addict for a while and has had a total facial reconstruction to fix the damage from those years.

They did a nice job.

She looks to be in fit dancer shape as well these days! Congrats to her for turning things around apparently!

Mickeyf,

You are not THAT Mickey who has worked for Disney all these years are you?

Your assessment reminds me of my assessment of The Disney Channel, which is my 8 year old daughters favorite fare!

As a sidenote, she does happen to have a very keen ear for music for an 8 year old I must say!

Audiogon does not appear to be the best site for 'newer music' to be discussed, a large proportion of contributors here (my opinion only) seem to be stuck in the 70's. So very sad, as there is a huge wealth of incredible new music to heard if one is prepared to expand ones mind out of the back yard and into the horizon.
Said he who is listening to Ry Cooder-'The UFO has Landed',
at the moment, but is itching to play the Bat For Lashes cd 'Two Suns'.
