I think you guys have totally misunderstood what he's said.In the art and literature industries there aren't many fake artists; they paint their own pictures and write their own stories, and find their own influences.In the music industry however, we have a staggering number of 'artists' who find international success based on the work of others. Even most 'indie' bands who write their own songs and compose their own 'music' to boring and hence socially acceptable frameworks. This majority of the popular music industry, including the likes of the Kaiser Chiefs to the Pussycat dolls, claim the title of 'artists' which is the greatest injustice to to the greats of modern music.
