If he wants to keep HIS music pure and pristine, let him record it and let it sit on a shelf. That way the purists can have it frozen for all time. On the other hand, people who want to PLAY music, want to have fun with it. They're not handling museum pieces, they're entertaining themselves (and others) by tossing it around, bouncing it off the walls and letting it rebound back at them. It's for people to dance to, clap along with and sing to. It's alive, d*mm*t.
