? Have you ever read musician interviews: Its like a competition on how much clichee, naivete and reality denying drivel one can compress into 5 minutes.

Idealism is not a victimless crime, millions suffer every day because some artist threw a buggy,idealized world model over the fence and the idiocy stuck hypnotizing millions into permanently damaging themselves.

There something compelling inside musicians that comes out in their music. Everyone feels it but few can define it. There's a reason they did not choose conversation as their medium.
Are you talking about stage presence?
Musicians are not necessarily stage performers, there's lots of touching instrumental music where the musician doesn't even do much on stage.

Music itself is a language, something undefinable comes from that language that we can't modulate the same way through speech.
