I loath critics.

I’ll say the same thing to the idiot author of this piece of trash that I’ll say to anyone who trashes any professional entertainer (at least about their art):

Go and produce something that millions of people will pay money for, that gives thousands joy.

Until you can to that, STFU unless you have something complimentary to say.

There are a lot of artists and types of music I don’t care to listen to, but having tried (and failed) to make a living thusly I have more respect for any rapper, ‘pop country’ crooner or idiot diva who has put out a successful album and/or made a living touring than *ANY* critic.

Beautifully said, needed to be repeated

I can only add: the fact that Billy Joel's music is still being played enough for this moron to comment on it in 2017 clearly shows it has stood the test of time.
