McDonalds sell junk food...because it sells. I am sure Ranald sleeps at night despite turning the nations into obese fast food junkies.
All businesses have to supply what is wanted. This is dictated by the public demand. The music business is no different. It is a case of comply or starve...or else flip the burgers. I do not understand the argument. I suspect it is snobbishness and comes from people who are not music pros nor probably ever will be.
It would be nice for us all to play our own stuff and make a great living.....sadly that is a pipe dream and will never happen. I compromise to get the best of both worlds. I will play whatever the audience dictates and pride myself on being pro enough to adapt to each situation.
