It's so predictable that EVERY time an opportunity presents itself to insult musicians who don't happen to be songwriters, we know exactly who's going to lead the charge.

It begs the question, are non-songwriters unworthy to participate in playing music? Of course not! To even suggest that is ludicrous and snobbish.

For the record, I've written somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 songs so I'm all for encouraging others to do the same. What I'm against is trying to make musicians who aren't songwriters feel as if they are inferior to those who do write their own material.

I'll give one more Amen to RobH:

why does someone always have to take others to the wood shed. geeeeez folks listen to the ones you like and don't listen to the other songs. post what you feel is appropriate, and forget telling others what they can and cant do. lastly leave the police work to the police. if we step over the line PGM will correct it as they have in the past. that is why they hire and pay moderators for the forums


what a childish and fruitless conversation this has been
