Paul Simon bumped WB and financd his newbie, So Beautiful Or So What because the label was pushing him to write hits.
Here is where I have a problem.
What precisely did Simon think the label wanted?
“”I really wanted to get off Warner Bros. I didn’t think they understood what I was doing on the last couple of albums. They just wanted me to make hit singles, which is not really possible for me. It would be a fluke if I had a hit single. I don’t make that kind of music anymore.” he told Uncut (the worst named mag on earth)
The job of pop musicians is to be popular.
The job of all music is to find an audience.
It doesn’t exist if nobody listens to it.
