Remember when a live band sounded as good or better than the album?

In past you had to have musical talent to become a musician. People would come to watch the artist create the music. Today the only requirement is a pretty face, or slick image. The studio could make my cat a rockstar. Because of that many 'live' shows are now pre-recorded, or just shit. Great musicians busk for coins in the subway, while untalented hacks, with big racks, collect all the rewards from media.
