Musicians need to make a living, too. I don't know if you've lived our lifestyle, but there is a lot of work involved, oftentimes more work than fun. Furthermore, while most people have steady employers, enjoy job security, and get regular paychecks, musicians are always looking for gigs with the knowledge that if they hit a dry spell they might have to keep to a pretty strict budget or even pawn stuff off for food money. And recording artists, whose revenues (from shows or album sales) depend on an audience, are on even less steady ground, because even after they sign that wonderful contract there is no guarantee of profit. So it should be no mystery why a lot of musicians are pretty pissed about getting ripped off. Half of them know what it's like to live hand-to-mouth in a van or some shithole that only costs $100 a month to rent.

Not that I think they need to do what they're doing. That's another issue, and one I don't care to debate.

And you can blast pop stars all you want though. Greedy fuckers.
