Sounds Like: "I don't sound like nobody." .... I was in a music business class (yes, I did do music school.) The class used up multiple hours debating the tensions between music artistry as apposed to music business. I mostly listened. But, eventually I piped up: "It seems to me that most artists focus on what seperates them from others, making them unique . . . and most music biz folks look for how you can fit into something currently hot."
