“Does this reflect on his art in some way?”
Cracks me up how the pop performers are now referred to as artists.
Clever time signatures and devices drew the listener IN to the music and the ryhthm
Jesus Christ Superstar and Sgt Peppers were both albums I "went inside of" ... probably a combination of the sounds and the words, but most definitely NOT Frank Sinatra !
Frank Zappa should have captured the attuned curiosity
Guitar solos were out'a sight (Free Bird) .. etc.
When I brave an episode of American Idol or one of those singing contest things .... every girl singer sounds exactly the same (to my ears) but the "coach" uses words that say "You're so unique" ... when in fact all they are is another bubble gum pop singer
How would refer to them?
What is your definition of an artist? Is music “art?” Does it have a theme? Is a performance art?
Just because you are still pissed off that Glen Miller got shot down, please do not come on to the threads and say silly things.
Personally I only consider them artists if they write their own songs, and he was one of the best there. Of course for someone like Bowie, his concepts for fashion and stage presentation were very artistic too.
