I'm not sure where I'm going with this

I guess that's why so many celebrities seem to think that being famous sucks. And why nobody from the masses can relate to that stance, since most of us will never have a fraction of the money some celebrities make in a year but we sure could use it.

Yeah, you're much better off being one of the record label executives who gets the vast sums of money without having to deal much with the inconveniences of fame...

You've got a point there. Lot's of money, anonymity and once you've made a couple of 100 million, permanent retirement.

Nah, record execs always have to have more.  Look at the RIAA  .

I don't really give a flying  about most celebreties.  I'd love to see a live concert because I like to be immersed in music, hear it performed in full glory with fans keeping the mood alive, and keep moving.  People get caught up in folks' work, but get so obnoxious about talking to/following them.  Seriously, wtf.

Now, I wouldn't mind meeting a porn star to have her help me 'understand' the 'business' better.  That's another matter though.

But at least there aren't Paparazzi hiding in their bushes.

That's true, but they have to deal with these artists on a daily basis, they are whores to them.

I think the high ranking executives may have other people to deal with that...

High ranking executives didn't even have to do any work. Some record companies have been in business for several generations. And now the owners of the companies are just born into it.

You don't know what you're talking about
