yea the beach boys started becoming boring after this apart from "do it again" in 68, one of my faves and it topped the charts in the UK too.
66 is certainly running out of steam. spector has hid away in his house, wilson is starting to lose it, the beatles locked themselves away in the studio for half a year, dylan has pissed off altogether, stones are running out of material for the moment and as cripes says everyone else is too busy getting high. no wonder 66 is fizzling out.....however trousers is getting his shit together

Did David Bowie Cause the Credit Crunch?
He's one of Britain's most influential artists but now David Bowie stands accused of starting one of the nation's latest trends: The credit crunch.
As implausible as it seems, the Daily Mirror has today accused the pop legend of inspiring ‘securitisation', one of the key factors behind today's economic fallout.
Back in 1997 Bowie came up with the idea of selling his projected royalties income in the form of ‘Bowie Bonds'.
In other words, Bowie realised he would have a steady stream of money coming in from the sale of his music but rather than wait for it to accrue, he sold the rights to the future earnings so he could withdraw a large cash sum there and then. This became known as ‘securitisation'.
Towards the end of the 1990s, the banks began to adopt a similar model but on a much much larger scale.
But instead of selling royalties in the case of Bowie, they began to sell on mortgages that they had loaned to their customers.
The premise was that the buyer of the loans would have a guaranteed income from the interest on the repayments and the banks would take an upfront cash sum in return.
Banks were lending out huge bundles of loans in the guise of contracts, giving the buyer the rights to the future repayments on those loans.
The problems began when loans were given to people who were then unable to pay them back. This caused many of these contracts to be rendered worthless and a lot of this bad debt had to be written off, causing the financial system to lose billions of pounds.
Did Bowie cause the credit crunch? No. But inadvertently he set the paradigm.

if i remember correctly mcdonald says hello goodbye was their best selling single (or best of anyones at that time) and after that single sales dropped every year as artists concentrated more on albums.
