You know, I don't mind using technology to create music from the ground up.
I don't like most of the computerized, drum machined, autotuned (SHEESH!
That's a fad that could end soon!) quantized stuff I hear on the radio, but
I've fooled with some fun noises using samples and synths. Sometimes it
actually sounds like music. Sometimes it even has a little bit of feeling
to it. What I object to is being expected to happily participate in fooling
people into thinking that the sow's ear really IS a silk purse. It totally
trivializes the 40+ years I've spent learning to play the guitar. It totally
trivializes the accomplishments of all the singers and players I've idolized
and emulated in my career.
