Bands needs to sell their tickets through something other than ticketmaster.

Ticketmaster is total bullshit. There are so many other sites that can sell tickets. Hell, I can sell tickets with as little as a 2% mark up to handle the credit card fees through this site.

Gotta agree with the Dixie Chicks example the most. Why polarize your audience when you don't have to?

"uselessly drunk" is a very thin line/grey area. Most of the people I see don't play well real real drunk OR real real sober.

We try to get the entire bar numb before we start.
We get 3 shots of water each, and toast the audience with them.

WATER?????? I strap a jug of tequila to my side and challenge them! Then nobody watches me play because I can sing love-songs to fat housewives and make them like it or, out play ANYBODY. But I can show my ass with the best of them.
