I'm not saying that it's not okay to use sex. I'm also not saying that a sexy person can't be talented. What I'm saying is that a lot of women, much moreso than men, have become stars in the industry because people like to look at them, not because people like to listen to them, thus perverting the whole concept of what a
musician should be. And, for the record, most of the artists I listen to could hardly be accused of exploiting (or even possessing) sex appeal.
Think I'm being sexist or unfair all you want, but this is my position and I'm sticking to it.
