Suggested poll for all ledgies: Would you be willing to give up all of this for your music -- & make millions in the bargain? Tough choice, I know . . .

I mean, c'mon on!
Well, if it meant giving up my privacy, and having my love-life, weight and personal decisions debated, dissected, and denigrated in magazine articles and on message boards, I think I'd stick with toiling away in anonymity.

Now, if I could be rich yet anonymous, I'd jump at the chance!
