I like the J. Dylan quote, "I don't need a guru," he said flatly. "I like everybody in the room to talk in musical terms." I agree that having someone act as some kind of "guru" or "coach" during the creative process would be annoying. Whenever I think of Rick Rubin, I recall the behind the music for the Black Crowes, when they mention that Rick wanted them to change their name to the Kob Kounty Krows when they were starting out. I guess the intent was to be controversial through racism?? -Not cool. He sounds like a snake-oil salesman to me. A damned successful one though.
