The music business model needs to change, IMO. It should be focussed on making money from touring rather than from album sales. One hit wonders would quickly disappear because their lack of broad content would make going to their concert or choosing them as an opening act useless. Just like common people, they would have to stuggle early on at shit jobs, but then make better and better profits. It would also mean that they'd have to keep working to earn money (or save for retirement) like us all instead of counting on royalties. How many of you still get paid for work you did 20 years ago?

People who live off of royalties will never live like common people, they'll never do whatever common people do, they'll never fail like common people, they'll never watch their lives slide out of view and then dance and drink and screw because there's nothing else to do.
