Anyone can write one book: even politicians do it. Starting a second book reveals an intention to be a professional writer.
I can understand why those bands do it. It can be a hell of a lot of bloody fun. People are allowed to have a bit of fun after the age of 40, and a lot of them do need the money.
I'm not staid and unbiased here. I have certain biases I want to convey, and if you disagree, that's fine.
