It's true that enjoyment of music can transcend all things, age, gender, culture, and social status. Everyone can have an opinion, and can express an opinion that is their own. But even opinions can tend to be more valid or less valid. An opinion is subject to opinion and it can be accepted or reject.
I read his article before I knew he was a musician, and I didn't agree with it. I head somewhere that the rhythm guitar player had a difficult time nailing the acoustic guitar part in Wind Cries Mary. So they he made it seem any guitar player can execute that song no problem doesn't settle right with me. I think they can fake it. But maybe not get it down exactly as was actually played. I think that besides what you brought up, it is ironic that he is a musician and saying the junk does.
