Certainly what Alex Campbell was wont to say was taken out of context - by those who thought (wrongly) that it was licence to perform any old crap badly. It was/is not. Certainly Alex could be bad (when pissed) and ought not to have gone on. It was/is unprofessional to do so.

Professionalism extends to organisation too and I am grateful (and surprised) at Betsy mentioning it as he's usually very quick to tip the bricks over me when I do. Pro artists are doing this for a living, not (just) for fun. Good working conditions and the rate for the job should be an entitlement, not a favour.

Gone.
