Therefore why not try and make their existences more meaningful and put some of that cash into play and try and make a difference considering they're in the position financially to do so, rather than buy bigger houses and faster cars. Someone with 'zero status' is rarely in the position financially to make as big of an impact as a 'celebrity'.
Of course, if a band doesn't care about anything then they don't care about anything, but like I said I (not you) like it when people do something for others rather than being self-absorbed pricks. Hence the thread.

don't be fooled... only a small number of musicians make an abundant amount of money, its those musicians that have achieved some sort of celebrity status through popularity and making Top 40 Mainstream hits, these types of people are in the limelight nearly all the time and are heavily scrutinized for their actions and also their non-actions so these are the types of people who hire 'PR' people for themselves to help them look better by donating money to some sort of "good cause", some musicians have good intentions and personally get involved but keep in mind their are a number of big time musicians and celebrities that hire someone to oversee a certain amount of finances to be used as donations because these people don't have the time or really the care to deal with it, but they care about their status as being a "good person"... with that said, to me the whole big business of the celebrity musician and the such is all BULLSHIT.
