Great point.

Can you imagine artists like Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson in the hands of todays producers? Auto Tune would "fix" their voices and lose all of the character of the artist!

We expected Dylan and Nelson to sing out of tune and have cracks in their voices. Obviously the public was okay with that. We knew who they were in the first line of the song and we wanted to hear more.

Music is becoming too "sanitized" and layered by our electronic toys.

It makes me think of the line out of the old Neil Young song "Union Man".

"Live music is better! Bumper stickers should be issued!"
