Well without naming names specifically...
It's pretty much like high school... the top 5 (which Nasser himself was part of for most of his career) are really the cool kids with all the perks, the stars, the genetics freaks all the other "kids" look up and and aspire too.
Funnily the Cool kids are rarely the drug abusers; they just don't need to; the 3rd tier (think Prince & co) are usually the all chemical ones; it is the only way they can really hang; especially late 90's when it was freakishness at all cost..
The cool kids are the stars... Chris lund seeks them for photo shoots, the Weiders pampers them, offers are flowing.
The 3rd tier clean up the cafeteria and stack up chairs.
