The current fad for "Musical Collectives" is an affront to the Spirit of Rock and Roll. "Musical collectives" emerge when should-be-dominant singers, songwriters, guitarists or other musical personalities never develop the spines they need to assert themselves as rock and roll dictators, who will keep the musical trains running on time, just so as long as their backup singers, string sections, and percussionists do their jobs, just as they are directed to do them. These "collective" musicians may make nice enough music accordingly, but none of them are going to change or chart the future of music as long as they're trying to maintain a fair one-eleventh creative stake in the collective of their choosing.
