Bill Maher and Billy Bob Thornton have a great conversation about music.

I agree with lots of this. There are many great artists now, but will they be remembered? I blame the culture of today.
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

I was surprised that Prince didn't get a mention, cause He's not from the old school that they were talking about. Pretty much spot on though.

yeesh... a couple of old folks talking about music.

No mention of Prince (unforgiveable)... No mention of Madonna... No mention of George Michael... No mention of Metallica... No mention of Nirvana... tough to take them seriously...

confused She's an iconic performer. Whether you like her or not. You don't think Madonna will be remembered 100 years from now?

Uh no Marilyn is our Marilyn Monroe, Personally I think Madonna will be better known for her business smarts than her music in a couple centuries.

"The Immaculate Collection [Sire, 1990]
Seventeen hits, more than half of them indelible classics: "Holiday" (ebullient), "Lucky Star" (blessed), "Like a Virgin" (wicked), "Papa Don't Preach" (immoral), "Express Yourself" (feminist), "Material Girl" (dialectical), "Vogue" (expressive), "Open Your Heart" (naked), "Justify My Love" (erotica), "Into the Groove" (disco). Style-swallowing opportunist though she is, every one could have been cut yesterday--they're unified by the plastic practicality of her voice and the synthetic electricity of her groove. Right, she's all image. Couldn't have done it without MTV. Tell me about it. A+"

Robert Christgau.

What I like about Billy Bob is that he expects interviewers to pretend like his band's not getting coverage because he's famous in another field. And also that he doesn't take himself too seriously. nod
