Just wanted to say my bit cause all this talk of business and fame is making me feel queasy:
-Comparing Slasha and Dickweeds fame vs detroit artists. --Well these people get fame from people who dont know better. Their music is disposable. Who really cares? they wont be remembered for being pioneers. -Cheesy artists making money --Do we really care? Money are power corrupts, i still go by the old UR moto, remain underground. Real life experience fires the artistic flames, this includes living life's high and lows and not shacked up behind a glass window in a playboy mansion buried in talcum powder. -Race/ Culture and who owns music. Hey i don't get this?, no race culture owns music, music has no colour. -Business vs Music. Its unfortunate artists have to balance finance and creative concern. This two attitudes run counteract each other entirely. Its important music is produced for its own sake not for what you think other people might want or not for what might sell well. As soon as you give into these rules you compromise quality. Quest -- WORLDCOM.
