    Are you speaking from personal experience? Care to share some details?

      Doesn't your popularity in music largely determine whether you're able to do something as a job or not?

        Sure, but I was interested about that "soul-crushing" aspect.

          Many bands have spoke about the disappointment they feel at concerts where they try to play new material, but the crowd mostly want to hear the hits.

  True!
