and wouldn't a person want to do everything they could to provide the most resources possible for their work? This is starting to remind me of the whole grunge anti-establishment movement, like when Nirvana thought it was okay to be on the cover of Rolling Stone, but only if they wore shirts that implied they hated corporate America.
And, of course, fame corrupts art, so if a person gets too huge, then they might subconsciously start letting the popularity factor affect the work itself.
Shit, the simplest things in life can become complicated, can't they?
