People make money recording music without having to sell it in album

everywhere.

This is very true. But a large number of people who write and play
music want to be stars, if only little stars. Commercial musicians and
writers can indeed make a decent living but nobody will ever know
their names.

Thanks to all the people who have diverted all of thier talents and
energies into trying to be stars, there is more money and less
competition for the
real money in music...

Wellllll... my "musical integrity meter" wants to lean in the direction
you're espousing, but my "reality-check meter" tends to hard-peg over to
the other side... there's certainly some room for what you're alluding to,
but you have to admit, the BIG levels of success are found in those who are
stars (most of whom have to work on it & divert some of their talents to
it, to some extent), and have the star-making machine behind them - and
ideally those who can combine the two.
