And music is much 'easier' today, compared to then. All these televised
contests - American/Canadian Idol, X Factor (or whatever the brittish
version was) et cetera. Also, like Mike Oldfield has said, using
samples and such, you can make a whole song without leaving your
computer just by mixing and editing samples or whatever. That's one of
the reasons Mike Oldfield recorded "The Orchestral Tubular Bells" was
that in some he thought that by mixing his own music and editing it
with the computer he was 'cheating', and that if you wrote music on a
piece of paper and played it acoustically, there was no way to cheat.
It was natural.
