I have to essentially disagree with that last sentence. Most
musical "artists" are pretty much an unknown lot who just scrape by.
Only a relative few hold any real sway over the industry and rake in
mucho dinero, but all "artists" who are under contact are pretty much
at the will and whim of the record company to whom they are
contracted. In other words, they don't call the shots, although many
who do make it to the top wind up liking the money and the perks and
will go along with the game plan quite willingly. A few do "fight the
power" and might succeed in that to lo one degree or another.
