  1. Rick, the hardest thing it is to do for any artist is putting down another artist. We know how difficult it is to make it in the business for profit, never mind a full time living. Being a musician, being the musician you are, is the result of your own intelligence and diligence, with a little dark side synchronicity as artificial product producers. Bands that throw themselves at a producer are doing a corporate walk, expecting to be given their new sound. From studio jazzers showing rock band guitarists parts, to producers using technology to assimilate the band, that's what you're talking about, working for technology. I know agent talk. I was there when Gino Vanelli auditioned for Ontario agents, his first time out of Quebec. I was there when The Police did a small bar gig. The way corporate music has evolved in America, you don't want to be the kind of person who makes it. Why doesn't everyone just say The Beatles are going to be the Shakespeare of rock and get over it?
