Money plays a HUGE role in the landscape of today. In the 20th Century, with The Beatles or Elvis, would you think that these artists were massively marketed by companies like Crap Channel and Empty V for the sole purpose of gaining profits from record sales and could also tell Elvis or John lennon "Don't write that, Don't play that, etc. etc."??

Or could it be that maybe they had a raw musical and artistic talent that was discovered in the early stages by some people in the record business (this is before they started to corrupt the work of the musicians) who wanted to enhance their raw talents and magnify their charisma/guitar playing/lyric writing in order to create something potentially special???
