Seeing as we can’t read the paper… I’ll guess the answer is: it depends. If they’re successful, they might stay together (Beatles, Zeppelin, Rush), or somewhat successful, and then swap some players and get way more successful (Fleetwood Mac, Genesis, Journey), or just floop around drinking and fighting and changing members and get somewhere sort of or not really (a million bands).

Compared to having a Billboard 100 hit, that's only a "somewhere sort of" mediocrity, but as a software geek by vocation, I am very satisfied with having experienced that as an avocation.
