Translation: If you decide to be a professional entertainer, you are essentially a prostitute and can reasonably expect for your returns on your effort to dwindle over time.
Note: If you were forced into entertainment as a profession as so many are, that makes you even MORE of a prostitute! :)
Further note: Only a small percentage of those who desire to be professional entertainers make any money off it at all. You are, as a consumer, likely only to notice the ones who are highly paid.
Many, many, many years ago, I bought the vinyl “The Best of 3 Dog Night.” Probably about 5 or 6 bucks. Then I bought the 8-track. Another 6 or 8 bucks. Then I bought the cassette. Cha-ching. Then the DVD. And this was back when 5 to 10 bucks was serious money.
I ain’t paying no more.
Sheryl “One Square” Crow
I’m s such a Luddite I don’t even know what Spotify is/does. I know it has to do with music, but ....
Hubby nags me to donate my boxes of CDs to the thrift shop, but I keep them. To many memories, and I want backup in case my computers crash.
Count Sheryl Crow ......
The beloved singer,
Never heard a song she has sang, howled or screamed. Remember her from some anti American screed from a few years back and that was all. I would not know her if she walked down the street past me.
