Joe, I said I DON'T disagree, which is basically a pretentious way of saying "I DO agree."
In other words, I think that Kid Rock song is cr@p too, but our opinion of its quality is irrelevant to the fact that it sells.
And remember, throughout the history of the music bidness, crap has ALWAYS sold well.
We tend to remember the good stuff from our youth, and forget the schlock, but the schlock was always there (and sometimes we elevate the schlock to "camp" status as it ages).
