There passions are not theirs and there to shallow to get a backbone because there tied to strings while labels pull them in every which way.

Also you should look into this before you start babbling about 'true artists'.

I implore you to learn about that fallacy that you keep using so that maybe you can make better points in the future.

I sat up here and talked about current pop stars this entire time and you gave an unknown current artist.


I suggest you take your own advice.

How can anything be any good unless it's popular. Unless maybe, you know, you learn something...

I don't know exactly what Paul meant, but I think he is questioning the notion that something can only be considered "good" if it's popular. Learning about those less popular artist and their interest that he mentioned in a previous post can broaden your awareness on the topic. I guessing a lot of people are (or maybe just one person is) thinking Paul failed miserably trying to add to the conversation, but I say kudos to Paul for trying.
