I apologise for my language, and yes they are just my opinions, but I like to share them and I couldnt help notice that everyone here suddenly seems to be making excuses for or defending Mike Oldfield, or even worse, talking about themselves! He doesnt need you all to defend his actions, Oh, and I apologise for calling him a washed out old has been, very unfair and out of order, I am a big fan you know, its just sometimes when I am listening to one of his albums, I always find myself waiting for the bit that I like. This is unique only to Mike Oldfield albums, what I mean is, if you take a typical Oldfield album, you will be guarenteed 5 to 10 minutes of sheer musical brilliance that will stay with you for the rest of your life, quickly followed by, or preceeded by 30 minutes of unmalodic pishical nonsense! But oh those 5 to 10 minutes of audio bliss, they will be enough to make you wait eagerly for, and buy his next album in the hope that there may 10 to 20 minutes of musical brilliance...... but there never is, is there? and so it goes on and on, you see, he has us hooked, its not genius musicianship, you have to remember that all he has ever done is make and play music, thats all he has ever done, its not like he ever did a hard days graft, if you do one thing all your life, your going to end up pretty good at it, look at Eric Clapton (lazy bugger), its just a brilliant marketing gift he has to keep us spending money on his albums and knowing he only has to brilliant and original for a few minutes each album. Anyway, Iam off now, gonna join a Stranglers forum and wind them silly buggers up, I am the worlds biggest Strangler fan you know, but every album I bought by them left me feeling dissapointed, but hey, I wont have a bad word said against them. Look, these heroes of ours in the music industry, they are not Gods, they are just public servants who get paid for providing us, the general public, with music, and if its crap, then I am off elswhere, just like a resteraunt you see, if your favorite resteraunt serves you crap, then you are within your right to complain, its no good hanging around waiting see if they improve.
