The Error of the Communication...

... is on behalf of the communicator! Something my Father drilled into me. If people don't understand what you're talking about, you're not explaining yourself very well and it's your fault. TAXI offer this advice on songwriting, which on first reading also makes absolute sense. If you're not selling enough CDs or making enough money with songwriting, it'll be your fault if people don't understand what you're trying to say, EXCEPT. Does SLIPKNOT worry that KATHERINE JENKINS' audience doesn't get their music and therefore aren't selling as much as they could, and of course vice versa. Can I add, if your 'target market' doesn't understand, then you are in trouble. Don't worry that your grandparents don't get it - that's how it's supposed to be!!
