Live Fast & Die Young?

Interesting study on the life expectancy of musicians vs. non musicians

I wasn't aware that it was in doubt.

Pretty much what my understanding of the situation was...of course, the study focused on the 1/10th of one percent of musicians who achieve stardom, which always comes with big money made real fast, which gives them the ability to abuse themselves with lots of drugs, fast cars, & faster women...I'd like to see some kind of study of the lower tiers of musicians who barely get by, therefore having to budget themselves more carefully.

I was also disturbed by the following excerpt:

Quote:
Additionally, said Bellis, "Many (U.S. musicians) die in poverty and there is not the same type of public-health provision there" as in Europe.

Did they ever study The Rolling Stones???? Some of the members ARE dead...but just refuse to fall over!

WTF pays for these inane studies? Can't this money be used for something we really don't understand and NEED an answer to? Arrggggggggggggg! This kinda shit angers me to no end!
