It is similar with actors in movies, like 'Batman v Superman'; it's a bad movie but most people love it...with almost $1 billion @ the box office.
Isn't that a contradiction?
Good movies are ones we like. Bad movies are ones we don't like.

Professional movie critics have their average opinion, the average audience have their own opinion (it can reflect the pros or it can diverge), I have my own personal opinion, and the Hollywood movie studio executives have also their own opinion; it all depends of our perspective. ...Say between suggestive and objective art and between financial satisfaction and pleasurable entertainment. Our mind functions according to our own values; it's the freedom of choice in a democratic and capitalist society.
Whatever sells ...
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Box office: $872.7 million

What's good, what's bad, what's best? ...A balance of proportion in our values? See, it's a question of perspective; nobody can impose his philosophy to no one else.
Our opinion is ours. We have the right to agree or disagree, and we are ready for the consequences of our opinion. That's who we are, unafraid of standing for the rules of men in a socially diversified human race.
Musicians they make their choice; that's the path they decide in their life...with all the ups and downs that come with it and their level of control/balance.
Nobody told them that they had to abuse drugs and alcohol and sex, nobody; that's on their own free will.
The job of performing live comes with the territory; travelling on the road and in the air. The other stuff on how to spend your time between gigs is up to them...a good book, few movies, some classical music listening, learning the culture of other people from other countries, giving generously to the ones less fortunate, sharing your music with other musicians, initiate world's discussions, explore avenues of improvement, ...evolving, loving life day to day one @ a time.
A happy marriage is the strong relationship of benefits between one person and another...a garden well maintained from dedicated love, earth, water and sun.
Man lives with many contradictions, and without a definite destination. Musicians, actors, artists, ...live that kind of life...many.
What is the ultimate life's direction? :b
There are 7.35 billion people living on our planet. Out of that number I don't know exactly how many musicians; but sure there are some even here @ WBF, and they have an experienced opinion, and in their own words. :b
As a mere young executive with dreams of moving up the ladder, and not being exposed to the easy access of all those temptations, I came out of this traveling insanity relatively unscathed (although it wasn't always smooth sailing by any stretch), but I'm glad I was never exposed to what musicians are.
