Since American Idol debuted in 2002, music contest shows have become ubiquitous. In most cases, singers (and sometimes bands) vie in a competition to achieve stardom. Most don't see anything beyond a few minutes of screen time (if they even get that), but a select few have gone on to major success...all while performing covers to get there.
Steve and Tony discuss this 21st century phenomenon and how it has affected the community at large.

Nobody's perfect. Yes, that is a cliche', but when it comes to being a musician, it's important to remember this. From the kid jamming in his bedroom, to the multi-platinum rock stars, everyone makes mistakes, struggles with confidence, and sometimes wants to throw in the towel. Steve an Tony discuss this and more including Steve working at the Grammy Awards in 1991, this years' Grammys, and the amazing Netflix special "The Greatest Night in Pop."
