By now this is ancient history but Jay-Z said this to Billboard the other day,: "I thought I would be more inspired to have all these new feelings to talk about, but I really just want to hang out with my daughter.  want to enjoy this time for what it is."

Yeah, exactly how much time does he want to spend with a 6 month old baby? I don't see the slightest reason for this bullshit hiatus, but even if it is true, why announce.

Whatever, liars lie and playas play and at least there is this: No Jay-Z for awhile and after that pathetic track for his daughter, good riddance. I commend the sin, hate the sinner but love the sin if you will! Indeed, here is a list of artists we hope will follow in his footsteps…

1. Bono

2. Chris Martin

3. Tom Petty

4. Bruce Springsteen -who went back on tour a bit too early

5. Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard (but not George Jones)

6. Green Day

7. Steve Tyler

8. Madonna

9. Beyonce

10. Barbra Streisand (since I can't see her live anywhere…)
