Some time ago I read an article titled "when not only pretty people were allowed to make music". In that article the author cited masterpieces like Stairway to Heaven and Hotel California as examples of how music used to be great before the horrid Justin Bieber times we are enduring nowadays.
It was a great article, it said that these days pretty people are out there posing as artists just because their beauty, and not so much because of their talent.
Today I woke up with that article in my head and wanted to hear some of those masterpieces (live versions is what I enjoy the most) and looked for a live performance of Stairway to Heaven, and I found this video where a crutch driven Robert Plant soothes the audience with sensual moves, and Jimmy Page is not left behind in charm. These guys were the sexiest boys of their era, super talented musicians who happened to be pleasant to the eye too.
So, the beauty is not to blame for the lack of quality and substance of a lot of today's music; it is our fault, we let pretty faces intrude in our music, regardless of their lack of musical talent.
Now, I'm not that old in my mind, I know there are great music out there too, but regardless to the before mentioned article, the people who gave us the great songs we consider good music, were sexy too.
