This is fascinating. I relate to everything you just talked about. Both in the way that I've treated artists, by liking/appreciating them way before they were popular and dropping them once they've achieved fame, and the way that I've treated my own interests. There was a time when I achieved sudden and moderate popularity in a field, which I then blew up by deeply retreating from the spotlight. The life in the public eye can put you in a creative prison, as people expect you stick to a "brand".
After that experience, I deeply understood why Dave Chappelle left the spotlight in his prime, giving up $50m to live in Africa.
Is there anything that I could read to learn more about this?
