Isn't calling someone a sellout a bit dated?
Everyone has a right to an income – he (presumably) can't go back to who he was (revival tours notwithstanding), so let him sell butter.
Fat bloated old blokes on stage singing their 60s songs is probably worse, but Hell – let 'em do that too if they want.
I'm just saying'

(Tracy funny. ha.)
