Can music business fame be controlled or does someone become such a huge commercial success that they rise to iconic status and no longer can live a normal life (whatever they may mean to them and the rest of the free world)?
Fame may be controlled and navigated. It is done by the individual. The person makes a choice how they interact with the public. There are some celebrities that may go out in public and for the most part be them. They don't have entourages and security 24/7 if at all. Then there's some people that want to seem bigger than life and they want leave the house without a staff. Their public will often respond to how they set up the stage.
Warren Buffet, reportedly the richest man in America by Forbes was on a CNBC special. He was shown going to other countries without security. Here's a man worth billions of dollars and is traveling to other countries without security. He was literally shown getting out of his car sort of pushing through the crowd in an attempt to get to his various business meetings.
Fame may be controlled, but it starts from within. Now that's industry pimping.
