Thrilling news...
Prince, Madonna and Michael Jackson all turn 50 this year...
an interesting enough prospect to write about? Tantalized are we?
It would be if the writer had mentioned stretched vocal chords and ageing,
or perhaps Tina Turner <,,toured and performed, wowed audiences (including yours truly) at age 61, no exclamation mark required)
or Cher, <--received a Grammy nod at age 57!)
or how Abba will not ever do a reunion tour so as to not disappoint their most ardent and faithful fans.
Without out even a blip about employment prospects doing voice-overs in Disney animated movies...or how the real watermark for aging rock star success is if you can manage to keep your tunes out of commercials for Liquid Plumber jingles and into downloadable cellphone ring*tones (I am totally proud to have Michael Jacksons 'Dirty Diana' on mine!)

All great careers have dips and no one should try to jet line a career with such dizzying success so as to captivate fans time and time again with no gaps in between.
Is this the reason for Spears failure beyond poor parenting and bad management?
Many people seemeed to be of the opine she would be lucky a few weeks ago to even reach the age of 30.
With the news circulating of a restraining order of sorts against a bad playuh in her small circle of un`erstanders, I think her prospects of enjoying a long fulfilling life full of continued happiness just improved.
But will the cameras let her? Give us time to forget we need another distraction is the siren call ....
