In music, long careers are revered. A fickle public may think it sad when an artist tumbles from the charts, but most often the artist himself knows how lucky he was to get there in the first place. Even one modestly successful album is something an artist can build on for a lifetime, providing a financial leg-up that will allow for a continued career in music at some level. And that's a good thing - if you think listening to music is a high, you should try creating it! Pure joy, whether the music is simply realized or masterfully orchestrated.
When things go moldy, as in all careers, when others get their fingers in the pie - we all know how hard it is to dodge sticky fingered creeps and the occasional psychic vampire - the musician can slip away to an ethereal joy too few of us know.
