I've noticed those are the guys who either tried doing music but found themselves unsuited to it for whatever reason, or they're guys who booked or promoted shows at some point, or maybe managed bands, or something like that. They cut slack to artists, because they know that just because the studio is booked doesn't mean the music that happens that day is going to represent the best of the people playing it, and, win or lose, they're stuck with that day's work.
Excellent point. This kind of thing does give you good perspective about the business and some respect for the people involved in it. I think this should be required for all scribes.
