One detail he touches on only tangentially is that musicians, especially pop musicians, are used to playing for audiences. That’s probably part of the fun for a lot of them. <br /><br />Authors, on the other hand, include some shy or solitary people who don’t really like the lecture circuit. (Of course, some authors do.) Introverted authors who prefer to communicate through writing and/or let their work speak for themselves might be at a fatal disadvantage without a big company to speak for them.J. L.
