It doesn’t create a paradox. It just creates the same situation I’ve been thinking about for 30 years.
If I had any musical talant, I would be “Cheesy McSneezer” and my band would be “Cheesy McSneezer and the Cheesy McSneezer 7”. It’s a death metal jazz lounge band. They create all original music, but nobody knows who Cheesy McSneezer is. You hear him on all the albums, but every time you go to the concerts, the band tells you “Sorry guys, I know you came out for a great show, but Cheesy McSneezer couldn’t be here tonight. So instead, please welcome our one night only temporary lead vocals…(Insert any random well known musician here)”
And every show, the reason why Cheesy couldn’t make it changes, and is always completely absurd. And every album cover is like 100,000 people all coming together for a photo shoot. Somewhere in the photo, Cheesy McSneezer is always on the album art…but it’s never aparent which one he is. And the photos are taken from so far away that you really don’t have any up close visuals to cross reference the other photos with.
So every concert, is technically a famous musician doing cover songs for a guy that nobody knows who he is, but also everybody knows who he is.
Being famous, in order to create a paradox.

If you haven’t seen the movie Frank (2014) I’d recommend it
Based on a true story, unbelievably
