How do the rock stars use their money?What do they do when the money starts pouring in like water?Most of the young stars simply show the money around.England's Elton John gave someone a
$38,000 Rolls-Royce car and bought himself 5,000 pairs of eyeglasses,then lighted up and spelt:E-L-T-O-N.He also bought himself two cars,“one for each foot”.
Many rock stars live like Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane.Those performers return from a tour,pay their bills,and buy new toys.Then when they need money again,they do another tour.They save no money and live from__hand__to__mouth.
In the end the rock stars' life is unrewarding.After two or three years,riches and fame are gone.Left with his memories and his tax problems,the lonely star spends his remaining years trying to attract strangers.New stars have arrived to take his place.
