Re: Joe Jackson??



Doug,

Count me in as a second supporter of Joe Jackson.  To call his work 
"candy pop" and to compare him to the Archies means only one thing: that 
you obviously have little to no familiarization with the Joe's body of 
work.  Joe is an intelligent lyric writer and has a fabulous melodic 
sense, much in the same vein (though not QUITE at the same level) of 
Elvis Costello.  Of course, if you feel a need to also label Costello as 
"candy pop", then you are a hopeless case.  Try listening to someone's 
work before you bash it, eh?
