I know they did. I put a comma after mentioning each one's mistakes, then said that musicians such as Billy Joel had problems due to being unaware of what was going on.
I apologize if it read differently.

I caught it, that's why I didn't bring up Joel...I just don't like 'giving credit' to those who bring money problems on themselves.
Another good example: M.C. Hammer....LOL
