What Toki said! (and what happened to your hair in your avatar, man?)Toki987 said:. . . But that doesn`t have a damn thing to do with how much talent the one like or I don`t like has. I found over time that what we hear from an artist never really reflects the volume of talent they have, only reflects a segment of what they may have chosen to reveal and we respond according to familiarity and whether we are stroked byemotional connections to the piece.
I feel, and I feel that there are others that feel the same way, that a judgement as to who has the most "talent" is simply a piss in the wind as far as any reasonable logic is concerned. A logical comparison between stylists following a protocal would be more realistic. . .
. . . If we fogies piss you off it surely isnt intended, it`s just...guess what? we been there too, and are past it and only hope to leave some shortcuts to wisdom when we can. Sometimes it just dont pan out, but thats they way of the world...jus keep Rockin!!! its all good!. . .
And Speedemons stuff about rock and roll being about all the 'B's - Booze, Babes, Burgers, Bad Ass cars, etc is right on the money.
So the deal here is that these guys are all about being rock and roll stars. And guys like Carlton, Morse, Metheny et al don't figure in those stakes because they're musicians.
Which is a whole different arena to operate in.
