Subject: RE: BS: Dont play at rip off venues control cost
I agree to sing for a particular fee. That's between my employer and me. If I find it's worth my while to sing for what he offers me, then that's my business.
What my employer makes, be it ticket prices at the door if it's a concert, or if a club or coffeehouse, a cover charge or what he charges for his overpriced specialty coffees, teas, and pastries is between him and what his customers are willing to pay.
If you, as a customer, agree to pay $5.25 for a cup of specialty coffee, that's your choice, and if you agree to it, it's not a rip-off. If you think it's a rip-off, the door is that way. . . .
