Instrument players are a dime a dozen.
Some clearly better than others.
Composers are a different breed.
Look at the music credits for the Original music composed by.
Danny Elfman?
From Oingo Boingo?
Mark Mothersbaugh?
From Devo?
I met Mark once back in 1977, just before Devo made it big. He told me they were probably going to move back to Ohio in a month because they couldn’t afford to live in LA any longer. The next week Iggy Pop heard them in the rehearsal studio, told Bowie about them, and he helped get them a record deal. Funny how life works sometimes.
