    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.
