Surprise, surprise! Another music sensation finds that he can't live the lavish lifestyle without, someday, the money running out, so I guess it's back to work. While some fans think that comeback concerts are to appease and fulfill, it's really just back to work for the musician. Why do you think New Kids on the Block and the Spice Girls went back on tour? For their fans? Hah! And don't get me started on Britney; based on the reviews of her opening concert in New Orleans, you better hope that Ticketmaster will be offering refunds to those later tour dates. She ain't gonna last.
Forgive my acerbic nature today. Compared to the amount of money that these people earn and how much they spend, the theory is that they should be keeping our economy buoyant for years to come (well, if only they spent it in the right places). It's a similar story with the public faces we love: Actors and former NFL greats endorsing diet foods, finding new exposure on "reality" shows, and God knows what else they'll do to keep their tiny corner of fame on the gossip blogs.
