Why anyone with talent is attracted pop, I’ll never understand

It pays better. Pop, i.e popular, meaning mainstream, and more album sales. I think once they get rich, some go back to their roots, or experimental side projects, because they can afford to have an album bomb. Up and comers don’t have that luxury.

Likewise, I heard a couple tracks off the much-anticipated Lambert album, and hated them both. Tepid, very tepid. I’d rather he went off and toured with Queen, and had the world at his feet, but he doesn’t much care what I think. Odd, that.
