the problem w/ the blogger discussed above is that he can't imagine a person who could make the sort of music marx makes (and continues to make) doing so in earnest. i see no reason to doubt marx's commitment to even the dreck-iest of his music.

meaning, i don't see evidence of bad faith on his part.
take celine dion -- does anyone doubt her passionate commitment to the kind of music she makes?

I’m THE Richard Marx who doesn’t need to defend my career, calling you out for being so far up Trump’s ass you can taste his colon. And you keep dodging the fact that you failed your viewers by being a pussy. @piersmorgan https://t.co/lnAX59MQK3— Richard Marx (@richardmarx) January 26, 2018

saw him live last night & idk what deal he has made with the devil but his voice still sounds fkng great
Anyway it made me go back and find some of the later-period albums I hadn't heard, like Flesh & Bone & that red Avalon one that I can't remember the name of and the most recent album and they're pretty good imo! Though I will admit to a deep abiding bias, lol.
It occurred to me that his catalog would hold up well against a listening thread if enough ppl were on board.

oh that would be fun. i legit loved 'hazard' when i was 9 or 10 and when i go back to those songs now they really are quite decent and defensible.

that whole album, repeat offender, is really good - my personal fave

This dude is always a treat on Twitter. He's like the Chrissy Teigen of 90s adult contemporary dudes.

He was a guest recently on a podcast I listen to; he had some fairly interesting stuff to talk about, mainly his early days in the biz.

he was on Chelsea Peretti’s podcast randomly a number of years ago, and he was great - even when all of her caller/listeners had no idea who he was!

he was also on the low times podcast with tom scharpling a while back, he seems like a bro for sure
