Are you referring to sampling other people's music as "composing"??? Okay. I guess that explains things if that is what people think.
Beethoven compared to some DJ...really?
As for the "work is done upfront"...yeah, you can say the same thing for Britney Spears and Justin Bieber when they are lip synching.
I think that the reason people in 2014 think that a fucking DJ (from the word "disc jockey") is a "star" is because of the lack of live music in most places.
When I turned 18, there were 3 clubs in my small hick town that had live bands every night.
When I moved to Miami in 1981, there were literally hundreds of big live music nightclubs.
These days? To see a live band is a rarity. And most of the live bands are "death metal" bands playing endlessly in dropped "D" tuning and using their "Satan voice".
Sorry man...I just can't put a fucking disc jockey on the same level as an actual musician.
You put a great band onstage who can really play...that is "talent". A guy programming some pre-recorded music on software??? That is bullshit being fed to the public (and the public eating it up).
