Yes, I agree that the world is full of 'artistes' who 'hate' their most popular hits. If only their light-weight followers had the breadth of world-experience and the inquisitive minds with sufficient erudition to see the profound messaging which has been encoded in the more challenging works through which the performers explore and display their tortured souls. Sadly we're not all on that plane and some of us just like a good tune and don't want to have to work at it. Get over it indeed! Enjoy the sales and be grateful you've hooked so many in.
