Anymore? Dude, anymore, you can't appeal to the masses unless you concede that Britney Spears was the best signer of all time. Sad but very true. Radio stations won't play anything that doesn't sound like pop, and music videos have nowhere to be played except MTV and VH1, and while VH1 is usually too busy playing classic rock, MTV refuses to play anything that doesn't have a half-naked black woman in it with some guy singing "grrrrrl".
I have a bad, bad feeling that even if Hendrix or Elvis came back from the grave, they couldn't get enough money to survive on unless they switched over to hip hop. Or maybe pop punk.
