His old stuff is phenomenal. But his current stuff isn't relevant or successful. My point is that a way past his prime senior citizen can generate more money than the biggest acts in modern music. I assure you that no one in their mid 60s who where big in the 50s was generating anything close to what the stars of the 80s were doing in the 80s.
The reason is simple; the stars of the 80s had enough talent and hits to keep the old dogs at bay. Today's stars don't have enough of either, thus there is enough current people that would rather go see an old act and not spend the money on a current one. Because the current acts simply do not resonate with the masses. The hits and revenue simply isn't there.

The dangerous thing with that statement is my teacher said the same thing in the 90's about how 90's music sucks and 60's and 70's artist were more talented. Now the 90's are seen as the old school talented artist.

90s was the golden era or rap....jazz was 60s, rock was 70s, funk/disco was 80s...00s was the golden era for edm, and 10s is not yet decided.

For starters I said 80s for a reason. The 90s was the beginning of the end. Where the older acts started creeping in. Yet still the 90s had their fair share of massive stars and albums from Whitney to Celine to Nirvana to Garth Brooks to Shania and Alanis. We're talking plenty of diamond albums those years. Yet still the older acts were making a resurgence.
In the 80s the top 5 tours were from first to fifth Pink Floyd, MJ, Rolling Stones, Bowie, and Springsteen. None of those acts were over 10 to 15 years out of their prime. In the 90's it was the Stones twice, Pink Floyd, U2, and MJ. We start to see the yesteryear stars take over the current ones buy we still have modern acts with modern hit albums in the mix. By the 2000s we have Stones, Madonna, U2, Police, Stones. And so far in the 10s it's U2, Roger Waters of Pink Floyd, AC DC, Madonna and Springsteen. The first decade so far where the top 5 is compiled entirely of acts with no modern relevant album to go with the tour.
It's a joke that these clowns like Drake Kanye Jay etc think they're the biggest stars in the biz when they can't even combine sales to go Diamond or break into the top 5 tours.
Furthermore I'm speaking stardom and success not quality. While I won't say much for the last 15 years. No one looks back and studies the 90's and says the music had no talent. And even back the there were plenty of non pop acts contributing to the art.
