(1) No one tells other artists who sing about a particular topic--like love--to STFU.

I´m under the impression that we do that here quite often. Isn´t this thread a polite way of saying just that :-
http://www.musicbanter.com/general-m...ove-songs.html On this forum, I´m always banging on about guitarists who sing too much. Rather like the fan who shouted "Shut up and play your guitar" during a Zappa concert, I´ve grumbled about the vocals of such venerable guitarists as Hendrix, Gallagher, SRV, Buchanan, Clapton and many others.

Absolutely! I don´t think anyone would deny that, but once you´re out there in the public domain your material becomes a legitimate target for criticism, doesn´t it?
