Personally, he lost me in the 90's after Batman. When he wasn't charging me to hear about his professional dissatisfaction he was leading broadway bible school singalongs. I never got a chance to tell him how much my job sucks, or how my boss takes credit for all I do.

By the time 2000 rolled around, I was not fully aware how my tastes had changed. Having a lot less time on my hands may something to do with it. So it took me a while to realize I like a lot of the material from the last 15. Quite a bit actually.

It was a strong return-to form for him. Wasn't thrilled by many of the online downloads, but the album tracks have added up to a playlist worthy of his legacy. Some strong protogee work, even by the old crew. Even quirks like "No More Candy 4 U, Everybody Loves Me, and Tictactoe" were consistent with his 80s deep cuts / b-sides. Not much more different than "Hello", "Ronnie Talk to Russia", "Tamborine", "Do U Lie".

RIP.
