I know this one person who sings...she's no musician. I mean she can't even tell when the soloist is bringing their solo to a peak. I've seen her cut off a many a solo with her vocals, at a point where to me it's incomprehensible how she can NOT hear that the soloist has built up the solo and is peaking as she rudely cuts him off.
I take it for granted that I get these things. To me it's like blinking my eyes, automatic. It's hard for me to understand how a person can be oblivious to a soloist's solo like that, not seeing or hearing that the soloist is not done with the progression, or their solo. I mean just the body language alone should be a dead giveaway. But no, there's nothing that organized, she just resumes singing wherever lol.
There's another guy I knew who sings who wasn't aware of song form either. He gave me a solo in "Stand By Me" once. (yea I know, not exactly a song that should have a drum solo) But I was kind of put on the spot, so I did a really simple, not over the top, sort of blend in type solo...and I got cut off about halfway through the progression. Whatever!
I know a guy who tries to play guitar...I mean I've seen this guy at open mic jams for over 10 years. He's had time to improve himself. He owns over a hundred guitars, and gets worse everytime I hear him. He thinks he's a musician, but no one wants to be put up on stage with him at the open mic jams.

Apparently, what musicians do is not easy for most people. Out of a hundred people that I know who play musical instruments or sing, maybe 10% are people I consider actual musicians.
