On Remixes

I wonder, do musicians get offended if a remix of their song becomes more popular, or is better than the original? It’s pointing out that you lack refinement, and that someone else can do better with your material than you. Even worse, what if the original is unlistenable?

And while we're on the subject, I'd just like to say that it takes balls to do a remix of a song that has no words. It seems that the original and remix don't sound anything alike 85% of the time when this is the case. It's a remix in name only; natures way of letting an artist piggyback on a possibly more successful song.
