I believe the opposite is true, They know when they see real talent. It's not what they are looking for. They want marketability. They don't know what to do with real talent. Accomplished musicians are "difficult". They don't take directions well. They scoff at being told what to do. Only other great musicians would appreciate or understand what they do. There arn't enough of them to support current business models.

The guitar god era is over. We are in the Jessica Simpson era.
