>Some or maybe most don't know what exactly they were signing up for,but that is just my guess.
What a load of shit.
These people wanted to be rich and famous and were willingly and ready to sell their soul for it.
Anybody who has any kind of "fame" success in life encounters those "forks in the road" VERY early and VERY often.
They chose their Faustian deal over. and over… and over.. again. Each time they want a new role or release a new album/song.
All the one hit wonders and "where are they now" people are the ones who stopped playing the game and selling out.
