The gigging special is still ruffling feathers:
Some of the guys just cannot accept that music success depends on giving the public what they want not what music guys perceive that they need...check this out:

My Reply:
As always...good input.....BUT! [may I use your comment...with name omitted?]
As always I approach any argument from the 'showing people how to make the money in the music business'. So re-reading what I said with that in mind does alter the 'meaning'.
I totally appreciate what you said.
Driving up to London, yesterday, I heard a fascinating discussion about this very 'thought'. Only they were talking about book writing. They said that books divide straight down the middle. The writers [and readers] who write for 'quality' [and readers who read for quality]. They end up, in tiny numbers on the hard back shelves....if they can even get published...sell very few, get tremendous academic acclaim, mostly from the readers and opinionated reviewers who appreciate the perceived quality, construction,
depth of feeling etc.
Then there are the 'chiclet' and 'ladette' writers, that directly equate with the Pop writers, who write for the mainstream twenty something's and thirty something's [record buyers are 12-18 today]. They sell in shed loads. Hit the top of the best sellers list. These writers are lambasted by the 'quality' writers and the quality readers plus the quality reviewers...and strangely, exactly like the songwriters, they are ridiculed, denigrated and scorned by the thousands and thousands of wannabe's.
Fascinating similarity between the ridicule pored on great Pop writers, producers and performers? And even more fascinating is the fact that the publishers get all the hatred that Sony, Virgin, BMG, Vivendi/Universal get.
It all gets back to the scorn directed at any 'artistic' person who gives the public 'what they want'. It doesn't happen in the world of cars, shaving equipment, vegetables, shoes, clothes...but only in areas where there is 'artistic input'.
Does The Sun newspaper ever get any appreciation?
>>>>>>>The charts right now are VERY boring indeed<<<<<<
And I consider there has never been a more exciting time for music...The Brits? Wonderful!

Master Class is proving it's worth:
This Master Class has proved to be vital and most likely the missing link as why I haven't attained any significant success with my music - I had a major publishing contract in the past but was so up my own arse (oops) that I just got in my own way!
Once again Dec, thanks for my new found inspiration, I'll need to talk to you soon, so I will be in touch shortly!
Kindest Regards, Clyde Jones. [Master Class Member]
Top tips
From Member Richard Amos: KT Tunstall - female singer/songwriter already signed to Sony - that rare thing - a true talent. Mother of Pearl - tight Italian rock outfit with the sexiest female singer ever !
My Tip for all 'rock' orientated guys...check out where rock has really gone to: - 'Linkin Park' their new release:'Somewhere I Belong'...that is some track...watch the charts.
