The latter isn't very ACCURATE, no, but neither is average-working-class Ike BECOMES A WORLD CLASS HERO.
He could've made it in the Soviet Union. They were into that kind of thing.
Anyway, regarding pop stars: I tried and tried with that FE8 rock band AU for fe_fest last year, and it just didn't work. It was, "OK, Innes is pushy as fuck, and Lyon's insecure and smoking weed and dropping acid, and Joshua is just sort of skating by and not contributing, and Ephraim is oblivious to it all and just wants to play his guitar, man. Damn, I should've just taken an article on Pink Floyd and changed the names, because that's EXACTLY what this is. So, is there any point to this, or does Innes just fire everyone?"
