Gross right? But seriously… thinking about how many people are probably caught up in this nightmare, how many one hit wonders or bands you may have heard in the past and thought “gee, how did they not make it, they sounded so good?”… how many of those bands or singers didn’t drink the kool-aid and were subsequently kicked out of the party because they didn’t want to be vile human beings?
Hilariously, I’d toss Nickelback in there because of the widespread hate even though they’re not like, terrible… but for one hit wonders, I’d throw out maybe a band like Fastball, or Jimmy’s Chicken Shack as (hopefully) contenders for morally upright artists. Just a thought :) Honorable mention, Queensryche
I've thought the same thing about actors, many from the 80s and 90s that were seemingly rising stars and just fizzle.
I'm thinking they didn't want to play ball, or at least past a point.
The one hit wonder joke may have been people who walked away.

You Get What You Give"
One, two! One, two, three, ow!
Wake up, kids, we got the dreamers' disease Age fourteen, they got you down on your knees So polite, we're busy still saying please Frienemies, who, when you're down, ain't your friend Every night we smash a Mercedes-Benz First we run, and then we laugh till we cry
But when the night is falling You cannot find the light (Light) You feel your dreams are dying, hold tight
You've got the music in you Don't let go, you've got the music in you One dance left, this world is gonna pull through Don't give up, you've got a reason to live Can't forget, we only get what we give
I'm comin' home, baby You're tops Give it to me now!
Four A.M., we ran a miracle mile We're flat broke, but hey, we do it in style The bad rich, God's flying in for your trial
But when the night is falling You cannot find a friend (Friend) You feel your tree is breaking, just bend
You've got the music in you Don't let go, you've got the music in you One dance left, this world is gonna pull through Don't give up, you've got a reason to live Can't forget, we only get what we give
This whole damn world could fall apart You'll be okay, follow your heart You're in harm's way, I'm right behind Now set your mark
You've got the music in you Don't let go, you've got the music in you One dance left, this world is gonna pull through Don't give up, you've got a reason to live Can't forget, we only get what we give Don't let go, I feel the music in you You, you, you
Fly high, high What's real can't die You only get what you give You're gonna get what you give Don't give up, just don't be afraid to live
Health insurance, rip-off flying FDA, big bankers buying Fake computer crashes dining Cloning while they're multiplying Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson You're all fakes, run to your mansions Come around, we'll kick your ass in
Don't let go, one dance left Don't give up, can't forget Don't let go
One of my favorites. They were spouting the truth way back when.
Looks like this world pulled through.
Such a good song
Awe, I love this song. It's on my YouTube Playlist.
The Spirit brought exactly this song to mind as I was reading this thread. If you only get one hit; make impactful! So much truth in this song. I’ll add the song HOOK by Blues Traveler. That’s one everyone knows but doesn’t know all the lyrics and what he is saying. Oh but Frens, if you read Hook you’ll know.
Never go full Diddy in the shower😂
Or Full Biden.

Yep, one hit wonders are definitely those who didnt sell their souls. My favourite one hit wonders are "Wonders" and "Almost Famous"
Works in movies/TV shows too - Firefly for instance. "Arrested Development" that got cut prematurely. "Better off Ted" etc.
I am curious who didn't play ball in Firefly?
Many of them have done other work. I have always figured that Fox was giving Joss Whedon the proverbial middle finger for taking Buffy to the CW.
Firefly was so much fun & I think fans would even be excited about a computer animated, or even cartoon of the time between the last episode & the move. Ie would allow for the actors to voice the characters without showing obvious aging.
Knew a guy who walked away from a big money record contract. Was tight-lipped about it. Strong believer in Christ. Great voice, impressive guitar skills. Nobody would know his name today. It didn't make sense to me then, but recent years have put his decision in a better light.
I worked with Corbin Allred (Teen Angel, ran at the same time as Sabrina). A director for one of the projects told me Corbin gave up something like 10-20 Million per year to postpone an unpaid mission for a few years to share the message about Jesus Christ. He said no & wanted to share his beliefs about Jesus Christ more than he wanted the money.
He has done many independent films after that, though Hollywood has never taken him back because he chose Jesus over the money Hollywood offered.
I have so much respect for him. He is genuine & was so much fun to work with when I did.
I keep hoping he gets involved with Angel Studios or another amazing moral studio.
Good to know that there are people who stay true and keep their soul even when the temptations are high.
Christopher Cross. Won 5 Grammy's his first year. Then quit.
Sailing & Arthur's Theme are still favorites of mine.
Also, Everclear, Frijid Pink, weirdly Gavin DeGraw?
I have one such friend who walked away from stardom after getting contracts for records and everything. 1979. He didn't even own the clothes he wore on a daily basis. When his wife turned on to God she then got him to also and he left. They threatened him for about 5 years before they left him alone.
Excellent song! Best line: "God's flying in for your trial" :)
i've thought of this before. it definilty is plausible
Queensryche- Operation Mindcrime. Still a favorite album of mine. 25 bucks a f**k and John's a happy man! She wipes the filth away, and is back on the streets again! Spreading the disease!
Yes! And Jet City Women is always a crowd favorite in my area
i know a lot of people would have thought how many children would have been saved if diddy had been locked up 25-30 years ago when he shot that woman in the face, at that night club. but we have to remember, if diddy would have been put away, hollyweird would have just promoted another demon just as bad as the diddler to take his place.
this is why the whole hollyweird, music industry, etc., must be burnt to the ground and do as Jag Wright is trying to do and have a Cruelty Free Industry.
God gave this talent to so many people. satan forces them to pay to use their gifts.
