Another statement that I do not contest. My point being that the people who actually sing (however poorly), recite vulgar poetry, or play instruments are the ones that make music. The producer's role is analogous to the conductor of the orchestra - he can shape the sound, control what happens when, but at the end of the day the musicians make the music.

No, he's right. With the recording industry as it is in America (one word: unbalanced,) being the producer is far more profitable than being the band. They may not make as much money as the Record Company Execs, but they see a hell of a lot more money than most bands ever do.
And so what if the band/artist makes the music. Again, with the recording industry as it is in America, that means shit since usually all artists have to sign off the copyrights to the label. So while they may
make the music, it never truely becomes theirs, and they don't even see the money for it, to boot.
If you want to make money in the music industry, be a producer. If you just want to do it for the music, just stay independent.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
