It helps to know that Lanier is a part-time musician. He's from the era when musicians were a Big Deal. It bugs him that now they're just content generators for Spotify, SFX, and Ticketmaster.

He's managed to keep a high profile for a loooong time. I remember reading an article about him in 1983, about a game he made for the Commodore 64. The article spent more time talking about Lanier than talking about the game. This seemed a bit odd, because at that time, programmers frequently weren't even credited for their work.
