Pretty harsh, imo... and I hate country music, lol
Is the point of music really just to push technical ability and innovation? Aren't sometimes the simplest songs the most powerful?
I'm not sure I agree with his sentiment. I agree that musicians who work hard and can perform at a high degree of skill are totally underrated, and I agree its a crime that the most celebrated 'musicians' & pop stars in the world are usually talent-less mofos who haven't put 1/100000th the time as other musicians. I even agree that country music blows, lol
But there is a magic in simple songs, and technical music and jazz sometimes can be just plain annoying
Regardless, WAR BUDDY RICH! and your plastic toupee too
