Unfortunately the Star Making Machinery is what has prevailed in the last 30 years or so, with people like the William Morris Agency being probably the biggest maker. People like Timberlake and Spears, Bieber, etc., being perfect examples of just so so talent being promoted to the ranks of super stars mainly by the 12-15 year old lambs being lead by the promo media. It really is a shame that so many people with real talent get left off the bus to stardom. I too have seen so many through the years, in old days at coffee houses, to modern times in small town fairs and pubs, to people on the net, that never get beyond the first bend. I used to buy all kinds of albums in the old days, in search of something special, many came up negative, but every once in a while I would find a gem. Maybe only one song, and it made me feel good, but most times the artist just faded away after the first album, that is why I would find them in the .99 pile.
