Artists that are 'sell-Outs'

It’s tough to judge them, I think. It’s a miracle in the first place that we’re willing to feed anybody for the music they make, let alone give them a mansion etc. It’s a sellout for everyone right from the start. I feel a little bad for the bands that have seen their glory days recede, and are still on the road, playing to small audiences of gray-haired people who leave early when it’s their bed time. It’s not selling out, per se, it’s like hanging on for dear life. I saw the Average White Band recently. They were still excellent, but I was wondering if they could barely stand it, and assumed they were still on the road because they didn’t have good retirement benefits. There are lots of bands touring in this category.
