Being a sell out is bad - we all know that. But what if I told you that, actually, 'selling out' is about much more than cynical career choices? Selling out is in fact a very good route to artistic as well as commercial success!
The Beatles were sell outs. Bob Dylan too. Taylor Swift definitely. Bach, Beethoven, Miles Davis - and outside of music: Tolkien, Michelangelo, Spielberg. All sell outs, and thank god for that.
