And don't forget Alanis Morissette. She may look like a horse, but sold more
records than Dylan and Joplin combined. <ouch>
True, but then it also goes both ways. Ugly musicians do get respect for their
talent and art...for example, Leonard Cohen or Philip Glass. Whereas a pretty
face would probably never get their props even if they had the talent...If
Britney Spears were the world's greatest singer and songwriter (hypothetically
speaking, of course :)), no one would really care.
