OMGoodness. That's on 2 completely different points. You were ranting about why she is still making music, because she doesn't need the money. She wouldn't change her view ON THE MONEY.

And oh wow, in that same post I also said:

You can't expect her to stay the same 20 year old that put out those first few albums.
JR's comment questioning Ringo's reason to make music is incomprehensible to me. She didn't start making music because of the money. Why would she change now now? Even though she's not making music to your liking doesn't mean it's without merits. It's still quality music that's different and better than a lot of what's out there.
And you have your opinion on whether or not Ringo makes "good" simple music, but that's your own opinion. Stop acting like your so called standards for music are top of the line and stop acting like you're looking down upon us people who actually enjoy the new work. Like, you do here:
