When I wrote how fake the industry is that artists today don’t write their own songs… idiots would come in and make assumptions that it’s been going on for decades so they bring in Elvis Presley as an example. Yes, it’s true that Elvis didn’t write his own songs, I always knew that but you can’t compare Elvis to Robin Thicke.

In Elvis’s defense, he was just a singer, he was never a writer and he was always honest about that. He always hired songwriters to write songs for him. Elvis did contribute to songwriting himself sometimes, though. He never kept it a secret that he had no writing talent. You see what I mean? He just wanted to sing.

Robin Thicke however was pretending to be a songwriter and lying about it. Keeping it a secret that he had no writing talent.

You can’t compare the old days to today. Today is different. Back then the labels didn’t write songs for the artists so the artist can feel free to hire other writers and buy songs off of them. Today is a whole different game. In today’s industry you can have the labels write the songs for you and not having the public know about it… that’s not how it was back in the Elvis days.

I’ve got a few comments accusing Elvis have no writing talent too so I thought I would respond to it. A lot of people aren’t smart about music at all as some think they are.

More on this tomorrow.
