| Marketing can be magic.
Whether you choose to believe it or not you can make people buy things they wouldn't under "normal" circumstances.
Just ask Clear Channel.
Most musicians, singers, songwriters have a difficult time removing there talent/experience from the equation when judging the merits of a song and production of said song.
Producers, A&R guys and rec executives seam to have a little less trouble with it as long as they don't have musical talent.
I know what blaspheme
We as a musicians, singers, songwriters will never be able to truly understand the power that marketing can have for a bad song until you learn to separate yourself from our preconceived notion of what is good and bad when it comes to music.
I really believe it is close to impossible for most. We will almost always hear through a set ears that are tainted by our musical training and experiences.
It can't be helped.
If you can somehow remove these biases from your mind you can get a glimpse into the mind of the masses.
Until you reach this point Grass Hopper you really know not of what you speak.
Please don't be feel insulted. This is just my opinion. Take for what is worth.
