Understood. My thoughts on the article, however, are more negative then Marcuse's. One, she goes for low hanging fruit jokes by insulting Mick Mars's appearance (he has a bone condition), and attacking Ringo Starr (IT WAS FUNNY IN 1965, BUT NOT ANYMORE). She gave few reasons for WHY they should retire, and didn't even bother to call Maybe I'm Amazed by it's correct title, in addition to coming off a bit ageist, and making a bit of an idiotic statement by saying "it would have been more worth it to see The Beatles in concert back in the 60s" (which, as stated in the comments, would be arguably WORSE because nobody, not even the band themselves, could hear anything with all the screaming). Plus, she said in the comments that she KNEW Mick Mars has a bone condition. Yeah, SHE KNEW IT. I only agreed with two points:
1. Axl Rose is an asshole
2. Madonna REALLY needs to retire (and I only say that because I hate her music)
And I want to add that I don't flat out despise Cracked's writers, but I dislike the ones that call any of their critics trolls, and tell them point blank to go fuck themselves (like what ATB did). It is unprofessional to act in that way, and harms themselves more than their audience.
We all go a little mad sometimes...I'm just a little mad all of the time!
