You all have heard the quote - often attributed to elvis costello (and
sometimes others)... "writing about music is like dancing about
architecture"... if you accept that... what is writing about people's
motives for playing music like?  It may be like dancing about
architecture down a dead end street with no buildings.  Point is...
musicians, like plants (really?) are people, to.  Some you like, some
you don't.   Don't know RS.  Don't know his motives.  Don't know if I
like him.  I do like his singing.  Don't like self-coronating-kings of
any kind.  In fact, I generally don't like authority.  I do like
compton's mandolin authority.  If I didn't, I'd change the channel,
lest we forget that is always an option.

Of course, none of this is to say that reading/writing about the
writing about music isn't a noble endeavor... so the
taterbugmandogroup will roll on!
