It must be great have been one of those 80's-early 90's stars

There's alot of those people who made a boatload of money in the 80's-early 90's or so and these days dont do anything but travel & just live off that money and royalties. Even some of the 1hit wonders made a ton of money off 1 song that changed their life to this day.

They don't have to worry about this new crazy TMZ age of being a celeb and not having any privacy. Don't have to worry about living up to an image.

Hell even the boy band phase of the late 90's. Look at all the money Nsync, Backstreet Boys, etc made. Other than a couple of them(Timberlake, Nick CArter) who chose to continue their careers, the rest are prolly just chillin in a beach house somewhere and just living a regular, but first class life off royalties.

Nsync and backstreetboys made so much money its not even funny. Nobody dl'd music when they were hot. I think each member has at least 100 mil

babyface made a shyt ton of money, same with prince

plus the celebrities back then had some type of aura/mystery about them, since the general public did not know too much about their lives

now we know that most or all of these cats are lames
