Hmm, well, I guess if you want to obfuscate the term "band" and expand it to be an "organization" of course we're not going to see eye-to-eye. "Part of the company" is completely off-track and downright wrong when talking about a Lawyer versus a Drummer. A drummer contributes to the making of what the lawyer defends. This is very clear in the sense of one is a member of the band, and the other is a member of the organization. One contributes on a creative basis, the other does not. Cut-and-dried definitions here. No front of the house could ever save a restaurant if the kitchen decides to walk out, right? No band, no organization. No pilots, no airline. It does kind of make me chuckle that the only times I've had this kind of discussion is with a non-musician who wants to equivocate their functional role with what comes out of the guitar amp. Other people might buy it. I sure don't.
