Maybe, but music was a particularly high profit business in the late 
20th century. I find the idea that this was just a passing phase 
intriguing - the hotel trashing rock star lifestyle turns out to be 
unsustainable. Led Zepplin had their own jumbo jet, I believe.

Or the Kinks 'Lola vs. Powerman and the Money-go-round' LP - a 
farewell note to the industry.
