Well said BobKnight. I hate people who put down other peoples performances and/or abilities. You NEVER hear a GOOD musician put down the efforts of those less talented.

If you get up on stage to sing then the audience should be able to understand and enjoy the words. Three chords is all you need to accompany most songs.

And as for writing songs about ME, I will often write songs in the first person as it stops the audience from thinking that I have written the song about THEM. Songs like "Size Doesn't Matter" or "Three Minute Man" would be quite offensive to some members of the audience if they weren't written in the first person.
