So you really think you're dedicated?

It is common for bands to be very popular and at the same time very broke. They might be riding across the country touring in a beaten down old bus. On average a recording artist might only make $.75 on every record sold. Making it big in the music business takes dedication and most bands to not realize that. It is a business not just a rock and roll concert. The legalities of the industry are very complex and most bands do not understand them. In order to be a rock star, you must first be a business man.
