If Tom Petty burst onto the music scene today, he just wouldn't make it. Neither would Donald Fagan of Steely Dan, or Christine McVie. These artists, incredible as they are musically, are not so good looking. In Donald Fagan’s case, WoW…. I was flipping channels on the tube and I came across a seventies music infomercial which highlighted Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, and Tom Petty. Also included, David Bowie, Rod Stewart and Linda Rhonstadt. Maybe it was just, ‘The look of the time’, But these people looked ugly, scary ugly. I was alive in the late seventies, I don’t remember people looking so ugly back then.
The other thing, Can you name one musician in this modern day that is not picture perfect? Who is out there that is ugly? What if we are missing out on all kinds of great music because everyone has to be beautiful?
