i'd actually argue against 1:40 argument. yes, you might get the wnb-rockstar with a big head, but you might actually get the retired rocker who actually knows the ropes more than you do. they have done it all before anyway so they have an insight on how thigns really do work.no point poopooing musicians, even though some can be very silly :P
