Who would complain no one (even though there was polemics) but the Music was just 10/10 miss those days.
In those days it was easy to bush aside the polemics since everyone consistently delivered quality music and were having big concerts.
Frankly many of the rumors were, then, hard to believe as the artists went to great lengths to protect thier image (aside from the ngulu affairs), letting the band members do the dirty work. Nowadays one can't ingore polemics and drama as we consistently get that rather than music.
Faux journalists didn't exist either to stir the pot; something that came about with the advent of social media.
