But all music you buy or pay to see is a product, dont you get it? [/b]
there is sort of a difference. Some bands are pretty much put together to make money and sell records, while other bands happed upon it, and what they were doing was seen to make money.
ie, a lot of pop music is well recognized for labels and such putting together talented people to make a band.
whereas, say, Metallica was a band for like 10 years before they got the success on MTV and the radio.
Ozzy Osbourne is a "product" now, but i dont believe thats how it began.
