Query: How sad that such a talent has failed

I thankfully did not buy this new, and had I paid attention to the overall positive rating here, I might have bought it sooner. I have no idea what these people are talking about who like it--just no idea at all.What sad sad times when one of the greatest poetic songwriters of my generation loses it. Between the time he went solo and Graceland, inclusive, he wrote inspired music. Now, this stuff is not tuneful, it's full of silly religious claptrap, and none of it sticks in my head at all after four times listening through. Maybe it's time for him to retire.
