You're a child of the 70s/80s if you can remember when Chicago, Boston, Kansas, America, Asia and Europe weren't just geographical locations, but music groups as well. So much better than today......
Ripoff? If you say so. Even if it is a ripoff, it's still much better than the crap today that passes for music. You ask me, most "music" since the mid-90s has been a ripoff....
A lot of hate for Justin Bieber. Probably well-deserved, though.......
