Can you really call a modern musician a musician?

Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac
Earlier today I was on YouTube watching Fleetwood Mac perform their song Rhiannon.  Fleetwood Mac is one of the most famous bands of the 70's and it is easy to see why when you watch their live performances.  The had so much stage presence and they would just get lost in their own music.  They were also able to play their instruments better than anyone could ever dream of playing.  As I watched the video, I wished that today's musicians could be like them.  Now when you go to a concert the musicians are not able to play well enough and they need a couple of back up guitarists and singers even when they are in a full band.  When I see things like this I am left to wonder where all of the real musicians went and why the music business has such low standards today.

  1. I really do agree with this, for one many music now is computer based sure it's pretty cool to see how much technology has advanced but we need our awesome drum and guitar solo's too because just wondering how it happens is an experience on itself.
