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?
