the latest salient point was the misconception that all touring musicians were millionaires, while some of the debts stem from drugs and/or poor financial judgement, it could easily be cars, houses, etc. it's just that touring musicians tend to be more susceptible to drug abuse and addiction due to the traditionally sensitive nature of an artist coupled with the legitimate stress and strain applied to their personal lives.
Well the same goes for cars and houses, if they're getting a decent amount of money and blow on anything like that then we shouldn't feel bad for them, it's their own fault.
