WTF? TFF!
Of course, this is the same brainless jerk who apparently thinks incorrectly that musicians make more of a mark for themselves by being in the 10,000,000th Beatles covers band going, rather than by working on their own original music!
Please tell me, anyone, how many revered rock bands made their names, claimed their fame, by being strictly covers bands? Oh, sure the Byrds, Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, and so on had hits with cover songs, but they didn't become famous for being covers artists, they were merely artists who did record and have hits with covers, in addition to their original material. Most artists who achieve legendary status do so for their originality, not for their ability to rip off the sounds of others!
Hey, if you want to make $100 a night, get all the free beer you can handle, and the occasional bar floozy, then being in a covers band is probably pretty great (and also probably a pretty lofty goal for a 52 year old school teacher with no recordings to your name in your entire life!), but if you really want respect for your abilities and your music, then you might want to rethink your strategy.
Yes, Slimon, "Great benefit from more playing and less typing.". Too bad, you apparently don't heed your own advise, spending three days and 29 edits to create (and recreate and recreate!) one post of the, errrr "truth"!
