I'm in between here... I'm sure there are a lot of "artists" making complete bullsh*t records that love what they're doing. On the other hand, I know there are a lot who would like to expand and be far more creative but due to the tight reigns of label management, can't. I don't know which category Kenny G falls into... but I know he makes bullsh*t records.

[W]hy do people expect endless originality from rock stars, and then stop buying their records when they change their style?

It all depends on the changes. The Beatles (I invoked the B-word) were all over the place in musical styles yet never alienated their fans, probably because it was seen as growth and expansion.

Today, the opposite seems to happen. In the case of two of my favorite bands, DMB and Carbon Leaf, what they considered growth and distilling their style to its basic elements was more like listening to everything else on the radio and REMOVING everything that made them sound different from all that, so they sound like a hundred other generic bands.
