But to testify against the people that made you a multimillionaire is a little low class. They got rich and never risked a penny of their own money. That's a pretty sweet deal and one you will not find anywhere else except the music business. Go to Wall Street and try to find a deal like that. You may not know this but the record companies finance many artists who never make any money and they take a loss on those. It was not written in stone that Radiohead would be a success when the record companies dumped money into them.
I doubt each member of Radio head are multi millionares. I think you have a quirked view of what artists actually make. I know way too many artists that were hugely famous and now barely getting by. My vocal / performance coach won the Academy of country music award in 1985 for best new female artist, and now is giving vocal lessons. She is far from poor, but thats just an example.
