RE: It is sad musicians find it difficult to retire.. for good.

Agree.

But then you read about ancient rockers touring (no names, you know who...) and you find out it's often *strictly* financial. It's not about being famous or reliving glory days. They either have massive debt accumulated by their decades of the lifestyle, or they have set themselves up such that they need a huge influx of capital just to maintain all they've set up. And bad investments, going back a long time, rockers are famous for this (like lots of athletes).

It's just like us regular folk: you have to set yourself up for old age when you're "young". Once you get there, it's too late, so gotta work or sell your "lifestyle" if you have one. Some rockers probably never expected to live to be old...
