Watching this clip of Neil Diamond in 1966, I had a sudden thought. He looks like a man. Even with the long, shaggy hair. If you took all the little shites that make pop/indie music in 2007, and lined them up, it would probably look like a primary school outing. They don't just look like effeminate kids, they sound like lobotomised effeminite kids. This is going to sound totally gay, but isn't: where have all the men gone? Where are the all the Robert Plants, the Ozzy Osbournes, the Jimi Hendrixes, the Jim Morrisons and the Roger Waters? These guys were not children.

The great question is, is pop/indie music in 2007 crap because its made by children, or crap because its made by people with no talent?
