^ Thanks, Occult H. I didn't know that Prince was a grumbler too.
Van Morrison has a reputation as a rather unhappy soul, and on this album he berates us across a couple of songs about his hard deal as a musician:-

How much sympathy do I have? Quite a lot, because the songs are so good, and in the first one at least, he ties his rock-star disenchantment back to a general existential malaise that any of us might feel. The stinging invective about the music business is saved for the second song...
