A bit of a curve ball this Friday, but stick with me here...who among us hasn't dreamed of being a rock star? Fame and fortune, for sure, but apparently it's not all fun and games. So, we want songs in which the artists are commenting on their own careers--touring, playing on stage, recording, being misunderstood by critics or fickle fans, mistreated by the record company, even ready to hang it all up...but the good times too. Kinda wide open, so use your own best judgment. One caveat: PLEASE NO groupie songs, they'll have their own list.
It's Only Rock & Roll--Rolling Stones (critic's carp)
So You Wanna Be a Rock & Roll Star--Byrds
Next Big Thing--Dictators
Cover of the Rolling Stone--Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show
Garden Party--Rick Nelson
Turn the Page--Bob Seger
When We Was Fab--George Harrison
EMI--Sex Pistols
I Never Wanted To Be a Star--Cat Stevens

Just to be clear, we're not just listing songs because they have "rock and roll" or variant in the title but that have to do with the industry?
