Is Mick Jagger primarily a musician or a businessman? Rock and roll has always been a business - 'the music business' - and usually those that succeed have an excellent business partner that looks after the books. You would be surprised at the property and stock portfolios of the truly successful 'musicians'. Even John Lennon was a 'businessman'. Although he did put peace and love first and foremost he made sure those Russians paid him in furs when he sang a few ditties there. The same goes in the 'art business'. Is Damien Hirst an artist or a businessman, first and foremost? Again, an excellent business partner takes care of business for him whilst the army of interns/students/wannabees do the hard work of assembling the dead animals into 'art' (for the status-anxiety celebrities to buy). So-called 'celebrities' have to be smart otherwise they end up with accountants skimming off '5%' of their earnings.
