If ya don't like it, don't listen to it anymore. Don't watch it anymore.

Forget the new stuff exists and fail to realize sometimes people just get older, less innovative, less whatever.

Some of that earlier Scorsese stuff is tough to beat. I personally find it inspirational when older people are still creating something, even if I don't happen to dig the new as much as the old. Think Pharoah Sanders...think Ridley Scott....I'll always check out whatever they do, even if my hopes aren't tooooo high. We're talking about peeps that have little else to prove.

Just, my take. Take it...or flush it.

People should be able to do what they want.

I like old Stones, but you'd have to pay me to see them now. Still, it's cool that they are still performing if that's what they wish to do....despite how shit it may be.

I think this is fine.

I don't have to buy it.
