Okay, you're a talented singer-songwriter who made major contributions to the world of rock, but you're thought of as a "one hit wonder" because of the whole "Werewolves of London" thing.
There are worse fates. Beats being a "no hit wonder", for example.
You survive years of hardcore substance abuse and a friendship with Hunter S. Thompson only to be diagnosed with cancer in late mid-life.
Sucks, but beats being conscripted into a child army in Africa and dying at age fifteen with nothing but bullet wounds and a smack habit the size of Kilimanjaro to show for it. Think positive.
Okay, but to be stuck on the Bus to the Great Whatever sitting next to Leni Riefenstahl?
Tough break, Warren.
Come to think of it, she was something of a one hit wonder herself.
