Jesus, dude. Calm down. My point was not to broadly insult every music-making individual that's come down the pike, as sweeping generalizations are far, far below me. I was merely pointing out that there's far too much name-dropping in music journalism on the behalf of musicians. Witness, if you will:
Blink 182: So we were listening to a lot of Miles Davis, you know, his earlier stuff, and then our manager brought in some Can, I'd never heard that before; you can really hear the influence on this record.
Sheesh.

You know Wells, I can always count on you to say the stupidest fucking
thing you can at any given point. And I mean that as a compliment.
Making music is hard work, and the pay is lousy. The only reason anyone
keeps doing it long enough to get to the point of being interviewed and
quoted is because they do music as a compulsion -- it's a process that
feeds their souls. Someday it may, in some way, pay off. Or maybe not.
Part and parcel of being consumed by music is that you may actually listen
to stuff that regular people can't stand and take some enjoyment and guidance
from it.
