nailed it. It's easy for us to say in our position that we'd be all about the music and would oppose the rich and famous lifestyle.
If we were an artist who had put out consistently great records for years but received no media attention/praise for their work the dejection would likely make you want to change your style to finally get the recognition you feel you deserve.
Or imagine you're the same hypothetical artist and despite 20 years of writing sublime records you're still struggling to make ends meet whilst some talentless reality TV contestant is raking in millions for one track, who can blame you for wanting to do a car commercial or create a more mainstream record in order to see some money in your bank account by pandering to idiots who like s*it music with great marketing.
