Artist is Not A ICON

Did we realize that Artist is not an Icon...It is true that people do look up for an artist that they like.  Most of it is the Fashion...and sometimes the style.  But to make them as an icon in every aspect I don't think that is appropriate.  Maybe the workmanship and the resilient to survive in the industry should be the benchmark for others to follow but to be a general ICON in life it would questionable.  This is what happen in Malaysia, when an artist being treated as an ICON...which is to big, considering the 3 D's involve in the career....Dangerous, Daring...and Dirty...
Our young generation venture into this path or this career in entertainment Industry,,,is basically of their lust of fame and glory, the lust for popularity, in which they have forgotten, the more popular you are..the smaller the room to breath..
The most threatening part of this is...only Malay's that involve and crazy about entertainment.  Therefore we lack of people in other industry, because our younger generation believe that Entertainment business offers more relaxing, glamourous and easy money...the perception that they have is totally wrong.  They forget that this is the shortest career in the world and most of the people that is so called artist fails.....in the Pursuits for glory, wealth, and happiness...
