That pan-sexual runt from Minnesota who played at the super bowl, for one... Anyway, this is a huge topic and I'm not a huge authority, but I think since the Net has exploded that the playing field is remarkably flat compared to the 80's-early 90's. There are those top-10'ers doing light-saber battles in the clouds, but after their hit and a year or two they tumble down as well. The Dixies Chicks aren't my brand of music, but they aren't teen dreams (all in their 30's, actually), can verifiably play and write, and have integrity to burn. The Peppers can play their sweaty asses off and have been doing so for 20-some years. These were the big winners at the Grammy's, and while that's a fairly meaningless event, it provides a good barometer of public interest. Did you know that His Royal Badness is the only non-major-label artist ever to play at that overblown gladitorial contest? Daryl Shawn www.swanwelder.com > On 2/15/07, Arne R.
