I think this stuff needs to come back.
I've noticed that some of the technology opens the way for lots of mediocrity. But I equate that with democracy. There's still great stuff made, and the institution of art/music doesn't belong to anyone. There was lots of putrid rock put out in the 60's and 70's that was quickly forgotten. I guess the technology of guitar amps and Moog synths really killed creativity.
But really, Elton mouths off about random stuff on a regular basis. In my professional estimation, he doesn't really care either way. People say crap like that sitting in all-night diners in the middle of nowhere and who cares; this is just the same deal but from someone who used to be "important."

Hi folks...
Sorry but I need to rant...
On a lark I surfed over to Matt Drudge's web site (www.drudgereport.com) to
see if there was anything new on the ASCAP lawsuits and lo and behold...
There is a story about Sir Elton wanting to shut down the web because he
thinks the web music people are in some way causing a problem with music...
You know of whom he speaks... those of us that set up home studios and do our
recordings at home or where ever... this is a problem? Interacting is
important I agree with Mr. Outhouse but... it's not like the music isn't
being shared... right? And input is received...
You read it if you like... you may read it different but...
Sounds like Mr. Pennyhouse is doing sour grapes because his last album sales
were... errr dismal... I thought his first album was a loser but that's
just me... He inspires like a hot Vicks enema...
Or maybe he gave a listen to some of the web music people and realized how
much better they were doing than he... It could happen... I am sure even he
could, with a little help from his friend "Rocketman", learn to use a
computer too... also... too also... :^O
End of 'official' rant... <heh>
have a good day and a better tomorrow!!!
