      @@edwardbrown5056 It's a strange case where you're both right. Every study of human behavior shows that looks are *_hugely_* important to most people. I've listened to females (of varying ages) get _outraged_ at Duran Duran for having Andy Taylor as their guitarist. As if he has a more pleasant face in storage somewhere but chooses the one we see to offend them.
      I'm not saying men are necessarily better, but they _kind of _*_try_* to imagine female musicians that they enjoy to be more attractive than they really are. I can't give examples without potentially offending everyone on the planet though. 😬 But check out Dan Ariely's presentations to see some of this & how it affects things in the real world.

      I've heard Christopher Cross remains bitter about being a talented musician in the MTV era who didn't look the part. Perhaps. Joe Jackson, one of my favorites ever (maybe my favorite ever) was/is a far better musician than Cross was. However, he might have some issues of his own as he has had a lot of plastic surgery and/or botox in recent years. Nevertheless, he was awesome this past June in Atlanta!

      @@mattloughran5727 Cross could have benefited from one thing: having clips of his live performances shown. He had some stage presence & dynamism that couldn't show up on video.
      "Run Like The Wind" had a guitar solo that gets cut off on the studio fade-out for instance that he could extend on stage. He was a big football linesman kind of guy, & even if he never got the women in masses, Rush has shown that you can fill stadiums even when your fan base is 90% or more male.
      It could have been done, turning him into a larger success. Quite easily in fact. But like most of the population, record execs are mentally lazy. For instance, the '80s had about a dozen Canadian bands that could _easily_ have had hits on the U.S. charts, but their record labels simply refused to promote them anywhere _but_ Canada.
      Even before the internet age, one has to wonder at their thinking. It's the same language, & had they been British or American, would have gotten this. Plus the record company _itself_ benefits from selling more records. Literally nothing was stopping them except some bizarre mindset that made no sense whatever.
      There was a song by some group called "Sheriff" that went to #1 after some radio DJ who knew of a group called Frozen Ghost, who wasn't allowed to play their music by his station, found when he searched for any songs they'd recorded earlier. He started playing it on some 'blasts from the past' segment on his new radio station & with no video (as it was recorded before videos were mandatory & the band had already split up) & it went to #1.
      _That's what_ record companies & their execs do, shoot themselves in the pocketbook. Gowan, Saga, Chalk Circle & Corey Hart all would have been smashes for at least the '80s (with Corey Hart & Gowan at least having the looks). Darby Phyllis Mills of the Headpins (stupid name) was the next Janis Joplin as was & possibly still is Sass Jordan.
      Does anyone think One Person would have refused to buy their CD or go to their concert because they were Canadian? Do the names Joni Mitchell & Neil Young mean nothing to anyone? It's not only in politics, idiots dominate everywhere.
      Joe had already built a following _before_ the video age, even if it was _just_ before, & by gaining a good reputation for his live performance. For Cross, it was almost certainly record companies looking at him & deciding not to shell out $ to produce his records without that advance following that I guess he never amassed.
      Sad. & yeah, Joe's likely had some work done out of necessity because, well, look at Tears for Fears. They came out with something earlier this year & *_ALL the comments_*_ were about how they looked._
      So, yeah, Joe might have been meeting fans who gave him "that look" & possibly decided to do it based on that. Who knows?
      Do you really care?

    Jackson’s music was just so ahead of his time that much of his catalogue will always sound current. It concerns me that there have been other musicians like this in the early part of the 21st century who because they don’t look a certain way or sound a certain way, they never got an opportunity. We are so lucky to have had Joe when we did because if he came along 10 or 12 years later, nobody would have broken him. Everyone please do what you can to support and elevate your local musicians and let’s stop leaving it in the hands of those who only wish to put people over whom they can profit from.

It is impossible to listen to this gem just once. I loved this song since the first time I heard it back in the 80's, but as it was from the radio and the announcer did not mention the name of the song and band playing or either I missed it, I never knew those details of this beautiful song. Eternal thanks to the uploader and TH-cam.
