Didn't Keith Richards also dismiss led zeppelin and the who as absolute disaster in the same article / interview? Ho hum! Old music too isn't great then?

Seems a less than logical set of views. Has this man ever been near, well, you know ... illicit substances? Some of the finest minds have been ruined by such things, its a great shame ...

Begs the question about where musical talent comes from!

Yes, t'was the Keef that predicted Jimmy Page's then new group would sink like a lead balloon.
Page used the comment as inspiration for the bands name, and then Promptly went and outsold the Stones for good measure.
To this day Led Zeppelin outsell the Stones, despite breaking up 43 years ago, and Zepp's sales stand at about 300 million compared to the Stones at 200 million.
So as a general rule the opposite of anything Keef says is usually the truth.

Modern Pop songs don't use many chords and if they do, it's usually the same chord progression.

A loyal fan base who pay to see her, knowing she'a past it, but go to see her just to say they've seen her again, for the umpteenth time I'd say. She's not the only one. Many more (and not just singers and musicians) are embarrassingly trying to hold onto their youth, instead of growing old gracefully.

So now her fans are past their sell by date? Look if you can sell out all your venues, then clearly you are still popular and not past your sell by date. Someone’s sell by date is not determined by the latest teenagers views, whatever they may think.

I went to see Wheatus a few weeks ago (they were brilliant, BTW) and there's no way I'm a teenage dirtbag anymore. Indeed, it was the eve of Brendan Brown's (their singist) 50th Brithday.
It doesn't matter. They're still doing it well and the audience were still digging it. That's the bottom line.

You mean you just haven't heard it. There are loads of great indie bands out there delivering great live music.
