Good for the band members. Hopefully they take their personal shares and improve their lives and communities with it.
Probably some will fritter it away (some to extreme personal detriment), others will improve their lives a little and others will turn this to a great personal benefit (buy a house, start a successful business, invest it wisely), just like any community of people would do with a lottery windfall.
It is a bit racist collectively for us to immediately assume they will all drink or piss this money away when we should hope for the best from our neighbors.
