<![CDATA[They're not exactly must-haves though are they? There's plenty successful musicians that don't have some, or even any of these attributes so you clearly don't *need* them. I could go along with saying they are desirable-to-haves I guess. Mind you, what some of these things even mean is a bit of a mystery. I wonder if you could explain in more specific terms what it means to "have heart" and in what way this is fundamentally different from the tenth must-have: to "have soul"?<br />
<br />
Oh and clearly someone has annoyed you with some pro drug comments that you've got rid of. Please don't think I have a similar agenda, I wish to neither condemn nor condone that sort of thing. But it cannot be ignored that a remarkably high percentage of those known as "Great" musicians throughout history and today (compared to say, Great physicists) have been drug users, often to extreme levels of addiction. To point this out is not promoting anything other than the truth, and I hope it will be seen as a productive enough comment to not be marked as spam.<br />

<![CDATA[Dear Spammer,you know who you are. Your spam has been marked as spam. I apologize if you are stuck in 1965, but please stay off my page with your druggie-idolizing rhetoric, If you'll note, the title of this article is 10 tips for GREAT musicians, not "10 tips to druggie sell-out musicians" there is a difference, please in future commentary leave something productive. <a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.musicouch.com%2FMusic-Making%2F10-Tips-for-Great-Musicians.148243%23comment180194"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.musicouch.com%2FMusic-Making%2F10-Tips-for-Great-Musicians.148243%23comment180194" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
