That's a twisted way of looking at things. You seem to assume that somebody who writes his own songs is higher of the achievement scale that somebody who interprets them, and this regardless of the respective quality of the composer and interpret?
this is exactly the mindset created by the beatles which ruined rock and roll. not only do you have to sing and play instruments, but you have to write your songs as well. and look good. fortunately, with the britneychristinabackstreetnsync phenomena, we're getting past that focus and returning to the days, a la sinatra and doris day, of musical interpretation.. kurt _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus
