I remember listening to a documentary which interviewed the second tier of jazz, swing, and big-band musicians from the 1940's and 1950's. Along came the 1960's and rock and pop and they were sore out of luck. The top tier could still scrap a living, but not the rest.
Isn't that narrowing down, to a few super-stars who stand the test of time, quite typical? There must be lots of rock musicians from the 1970's who I cannot now remember and will never bother to listen to.
Musicians need to put some of their current income into a pension plan. They cannot expect to get royalties when they are old, whatever the duration of copyright.
