There's a small nagging part of me that still doesn't understand why we give him a pass for doing it during Destination Anywhere and beyond, an album we hold in high regard, and mad at him for doing it now, you know? I guess if it's about the age range, sure I totally get it. But copping off popular things to seem more relevant isn't as frowned upon if we collectively all like the end product I think.
I also think that back in the 90s his rip offs were more subtle...more about a sound or style...some of his more recent output have been direct rip offs of certains songs. I think he walks a fine line between being influenced by and ripping off...
