No it isn't. Please tell me why an artist should still get paid for a song he made 10 years ago, just because someone on the radio decides to play it? That makes no sense, it's like charging people each time they read a book I wrote.

Bullshit. When you buy a CD, you don't have to pay every time you listen to a track, just like you don't need to pay every time you read a book.
What else is interesting is that books are covered by copyright laws just the same as music, so you're probably going to have to pay for its legal use unless Fair Use applies.

Right now the entire music industry is based on the idea that you make a song and you cash in for the rest of your life on that song, even if you stop your entire career after that single song. That makes no sense at all.

The entire music industry is based on the idea that they profit and maintain good wealth. Like a explained to you, the people at the record company who had absolutely nothing to do with the composition of the work get more money that the work's real creator, so it's quite evident that they're more interested in business than art.
Furthermore, the sincere musicians I keep talking about really don't get paid well. They need as much money as they can get any way they can get, especially considering that, should they be lucky enough to have landed a record contract (or unlucky enough, considering the plethora of inconveniences the musician has to endure), they're not getting what they deserve.
