I think the pursuit of money is ridiculous passed a certain amount of money which may vary for each people need ( for example i dont need nor i want to travel  others will love it )

i had enough money to live and meditate... i own a marvellous audio system... I need only books and friends...I already had 2 dogs... 🐕🐶

i dont understand an artist already rich who will insult those who venerated and bought his music to listen to it at a CHOSEN and SACRED moment of their choice , who will discover that their artist sold this music for paper toilet company or sardins box publicity and who will listen now to this music abbreviated and repeatedly truncated any time by agressive publicity anywhere... This artist is a shame... Except if he is in very pauper living condition now...

QMS’s Mona has absolutely zero prospect for commercial exploitation. That’s why it remains one of my favorites. That, and the fact I can successfully belt out the vocals regardless of how intoxicated I am.

@mahgister  I like your second post.   I think what happens is lifestyle creep.  Using Mick as an example, He may have 50 million (I assume he is not a saver) - but he has 3 big $ houses, a yacht, and a private jet, plus child support and ex wives.   So his money goes fast and now he needs more just to support his lifestyle to which he has become accustom.  Maybe this type of branded product is an indicator or an artist's money management skills.
