Ok, now you still want to get your name in the magazines |
|
And he wants 500 dollars a month. |
|
Where does it come from? |
|
We worked one gig this month. |
|
And thats....so what do we get? |
|
Two hundred dollars for this gig up here if we're lucky. |
|
If we're lucky, we'll get two hundred. |
|
And it will be two weeks before we get it. |
|
Probably. |
|
I mean after all, what is all this shit in the newspaper, |
|
If we got such a big name, how come....., we're starving man! |
|
This ****ing band is starving! |
|
And we've been starving for three years. |
|
I realize it takes a long time but god damn it! |
|
Does it take another five, ten years from now. |
|
There's some months when you're not going to work as much as other months. there's some months when you're going to make a lot of money and if you average it out, you do make more than two hundr |
|
Llars a month. |
|
Expenses are sure high to. |
|
If we'd all been living in california, |
|
It would have been different. |
|
If we'd all been living in california, |
|
We wouldn't have worked at all. |
|
Oh, that's true. |
|
Well, we're not working now anyway. |
|
We worked one gig this month frank. |
|
What's wrong with getting two months in a row of this good money? |
|
Or three months in a row. |
|
Then we could afford to take three of four months off |
|
And everybody can...... |
|
After the first month i can get just enough ahead |
|
But if i had two more months man, |
|
I'll get ahead. |
|
Because i'm not living very extravagantly, i'll tell you for sure. |
