 The inability to read sheet music doesn't indicate a lack of understanding of chord structures, timing/syncopation, etc., regardless of where or how you learned it

I'll also note that the list of "influential and famous" musicians who _could_ read music absolutely eclipses the short list of commercially promoted pop stars who couldn't.
I'm amazed at the anti-education bias shown by some posters here. What's next - a list of famous authors who were illiterate? "Meh - reading is overrated! Everyone knows ignorance is bliss!"
