Technology has made it much easier to make and manipulate music. Studio-driven, machine-driven music does not always transcend into being a good live act. Many current acts are great live, but many cannot cut it live. The music is not organic.
Sure I think it is healthy to speak the truth, and be who you are, and be proud of that.
With my somewhat vague aspiring mind, to be imprisoned in the rude details of a most material life was often irksome.
