The music that is played on the radio all the time or written about in magazines has nothing to do with musicianship.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Naturally, no one knows more about music than musicians. They talk about their own work all the time, but they rarely get to talk about other people's music.
Music and the music business are two different things.
Music isn't only a profession.
But anyone who knows anything about the music industry knows it's not only about the music.
There's no difference in a lot of people's minds between good musicians and popular musicians.
Popularity has everything to do with business and nothing to do with music.
I don't find music being less important than, like, politics.
With the advent of radio and recording, music became an industry rather than just a tradition.
But why is it that in music, anything more than 5 years old - apart from a few hits - is never played on radio to the young public?
The people who know nothing about music are the ones always talking about it.
