Musicians are retards? I do not have the words to express my opisition to this shallow statement.
There are no words other than agreement =). Ever talk with some of these dorks? They're friggin stupid. As I said, they might have some sort of crude message, but it is unfortunately stupid as well.
From a pop perspective your "Bottom Line" is skewed. It goes like this:
Businessman is first, He does some market research, surveyes, brainstorming sessions, looks at the market & decides from all the info whats hot & whats not. He then auditions a few sexy young people (not necesarily musicians) that look good & are tripping over themselves to be famous. The businessman employs fashiln consultants, Image consultants, wardrobe specialists, & so on untill he has a marketable product. Publicitys next, get the sexy young thing with her new clothes, opinion, hair & makeup on the front of magazines, on tv etc etc. somewhere along the way the "musician" is brought into a studio and told what to sing. Long after shes gone to do a public appearance or practise her little dance routine the sound engineers & producers are busy transforming her four minute wailing session into a number 1 hit! & so the money rolls in as expected & everyone is happy.
Money is good, it's how capitalism works, and as we all know, it beats the hell out of communism. Also; So? Said musician had to of sung that song at least once lest she fall to the same fate as milli vanilli, and if you're going to point out that a engineer/producer enhance her music with a computer you may want to consult almost every band whose ever been in a decent recording studio as well. If in the case after this is finished it's good enough to market, people will buy it, and maybe they will like it, which is where the word "subjective" comes in. People aren't attacking your taste in music, you have no ground to stand on when you say yours is better then everyone elses, it's just about as ignorant as saying your race is better then everyone elses.
