"There are 50 songwriters out there who are "relevant". That doesn't make them rock messiahs."

Absolutely true, sageantoine.  But don't blame them if they can't reach the level of success/awareness of Arcade Fire.  See, that's what happens: group hits the heights for any number of reasons, THEN the "relevant" songwriter(s) become "messiahs."

Like one other relevant--but not-so-messianic songwriter once wrote: 
"...I don't know, 
I guess you're right, 
but even so, 
if there's no audience,
there ain't no show..."
A somewhat literal take on Bill Henderson, Chilliwack.
