What's the difference between a dead skunk in the middle of the road and a dead folksinger in the middle of the road?

The skunk was on his way to a paying gig.

Does that count?

There have been a few legendary exceptions to the above general rule...Baez, Dylan, PPM, etc...most of whom were accused of "selling out" by various envious people at various times, who wished they could've done it too. Most, but not all of these exceptions were managed or at least courted by Albert Grossman, the king of paying gig arrangement.
