It does. I grew up thinking if it's considered pop, it's a lost cause. There would be no real chance that I could possibly enjoy it. None. Well....

I think the very first pop song, radio song that caught my ear was one that featured Santana playing on with Rob Thomas or some other popular act 5-10 years ago. That was very important for me to realize I was wrong. If more pop music had the level of virtuosity on board as Santana playing in the wing, we'd be better off me thinks. But, at least I know it's feasible to enjoy a pop song now.

There's more to the story of the evolution but that was the important bit...
