Acme, They don't need to go away. I didn't say that. Sorry, however, if it seemed implied. The old performer is just that: a performer. It's easy to miss the distinction between artist and performer/entertainer. For example, I could never see George Strait as an artist. It's just not happening, for me. But I can see him as a performer. And it's has nothing to do with tastes and what is 'good' or 'bad' either. Billy Joel, Elton, etc. write and perform great music. I am just trying to get at something else entirely.
