It hasn't worked for
the horrendously over rated, duller than dull, drabber than drab
REM.
Same point, read my original statement. I never said or even
implied that you automatically join the "great composers" club just by writing a
hundred songs. I made the point that "IF you have any talent" it still
takes at least a hundred compositions to learn enough about your craft to write
anything worth listening to. No talent is no talent, no matter how many
times you try. Salieri, anyone?
