.......looks like you caught more than a worm.........
I hate to burst your bubble but where did he go wrong in those statements.
Fact is that since many of you youngsters got a hold
of computers---U now make weak music(and I would hold
that the output of weak releases to quality/substantive
releases has sharply increased since that time). Look in the mirror and repeat
the words denial my friend.............:)
Here's what's weak, some gooney-nerds trying to analyze a statement
by a Giant thats put out some good music over time and runs
a huge record label. Which one of you R doing that? And how long have you
been doing it? Besides, WE dont live according to your pop-cultural
rules and all those shibboleths dervied therefrom.(How can a Mexican analyze
Chinese culture?.......makes no cultural sense..)..like your comments, biased!
Go analyze a statement from Elvis, u'd be closer to the mark....

I agree...that IS pretty weak.
Boring music is boring music. It doesn't matter if someone turns it out on
a computer, on a hardware sequencer or on a damn washboard with silver
spoons. Crappy music is crappy music...

Seriously, that is probably the worst thing I've ever heard on the
subject.
quoted 1 line it's not art any more

typical, neophyte, kneejerk thing to say.
