lol at the 'point of music'. but i do know what you are getting at with it. "as long as i enjoy it, who cares?" type of thing. that is pretty understandable. i am not telling anyone not enjoy it, or hating on anyone for doing so. i am just stating how i just don't respect his 'artistic abilities'

i enjoy music that is performed by people who did not write the song. though, i do not fully respect their 'musicianship' or 'artistic ability' though this varies, like how aldean seemingly writes little to nothing. out of his 4 albums, he has 1 writing credit for a song. this dude just seems like a 'creation' ala most of the pop stars around.

not the same.

of course there are reasons for that. though it does say a lot, to me, that this guy has 4 albums and partially wrote only 1 song.
