I saw Don McLean open for Roberta Flack around 1973 or 1974. He was okay, kind of churlish, but I was there to see Roberta, anyway.
Yet today, he said, "How can you tell the difference between the songs? It's just like a rhythm section and a mindless chorus that goes on over and over, and it's not very melodic. And I've been saying this, actually, on stage, that I can't imagine a computer that can't make better music than this."
I couldn't agree more. Just the other day I finally heard a Rihanna song. Big star! Wow, she must be great! OMG, what unmusical drivel.
