....or well known to the general public? Ask 10 people on the street who he is. That should be your acid test.

...who the Vice President of the US is and they don't know.
Ask 10 people involved in popular music today and they will know either him or one of his bands.
Particularly if you ask musicians.
"Well Known" is a relative term and means nothing without a qualifier. It is usually referring to the "general public". If one intends for it to mean "well known to professional musicians", he should probably preface it that way.

Unfortunately nine of those ten people on the street don't have a clue.
You could easily ask who James Morrison, Peter Townsend, or Richard Starkey is, and they'd all look at you with that 1000 yard stare and say "Da, I dunna know."
But on the bright side, those same people will be voting for our next president. (Assuming of course they can figure out how to work the pen.)
