The Entertainer

[saphirediamond]

You've heard my latest record, it's been on the radio. Yeah, it took me years to write, they were the best years of my life! It was a beautiful song, but it ran too long, if your gonna have a hit, you gotta make it fit, so they cut it down to 3:05!

I am the Entertainer, the idol of my age; but if I go cold I won't get sold, I'll get put in the back on the discount rack like another can of beans!

Who am I?
