Default Re: OT: Entertainment vs. Musicianship

Quote:
As a producer/engineer/musician the lines between the two can get blurred. Can a successful artist have both?
I would say that they need both if they are trying to

a) Service a market
b) Make money

If someone wants to cling to their art and be prepared for the consequences, fine, I applaud them! But I may not always pay them.

We all like to be entertained. That can also be achieved by great musicianship with a smattering of "showbiz". Alas, it also works the other way around.

Best regards,
