Ok I wasn't even going to acknowledge this thread cause the main topic is just laughable and absurd. However the above mentioned is one almost as ridculous imo. How in the hell could someone with no talent in a certain area of life be more inclined to tell someone who does, anything about their profession? You think as a musician I'm going to listen to some doosh who cant play or sing a notegive me advice over someone who can and is an accomplished musician? Uhh no..thats effin retarded dude if you ask me and I just dont see the logic in it.
