    just a handy example ... Reynolds and I definitely don't see eye to
    eye on the matter of Brian Wilson's contribution to modern music ...

    I agree with you ...
    I think what Reynolds (and I) was referring to was the personality
    inherit in many an artist versus the personality it takes to deal
    with the social downsides of dealing with a 'band'. This really
    doesn't have anything to do with live playing. You may disagree, but
    I'm playing 'live' when I DJ ... I've been in quite a few bands in my
    time, and the sensation mostly is the same, really ...
