He's certainly not aging well (EJ, not JC). I really liked his early stuff, from Tumbleweed Connection, Honky Chateau, Madman Across the Water, Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player; on through Good-bye, Yellow-Brick Road. Caribou and Captain Fantastic had some good songs but with Rock of the Westies everything seemed to turn dreck-ward. That's probably too harsh since he has had some very nice songs for movie soundtracks, but I haven't bought one of his albums in probably 35 years (can we both be that old?). Still, his little-known song "60 Years On" is one of my favorites of his.

I think he lost me with "Crocodile Rock"
I was going to say he lost me when he got to "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," but you're probably right, Tully.
As far as I can tell, Jesus is still pretty big with some people.
no, brian. the other guy.
As the Byrds and the Doobie Brothers say, Jesus is just alright with me.
