Jet Li's Hollywood career. It's basically down to having a poor talent agent.

Reply to ELI5: Everyone knows that Ticketmaster is the biggest scumbucket enterprise on the planet yet no band seems able to avoid their grasp. What's to stop a really major act (e.g. Taylor Swift) from performing in venues that are not controlled by Ticketmaster, or just setting up a parallel company? by havereddit
Ticketmaster bribe the big acts' management teams by sliding them tickets that they can sell at huge markups through scalpers. Tax free, of course. Some bands know about it but I think many don't. They just do what the management suggests.

Alcohol's great danger is that it is a displacement activity, robbing us of the time that could be spent on meaningful pursuits and gradually taking over until it can often become the primary but inferior outlet for private actions.

I really enjoyed "The One" but no one is mentioning it...
