(37,573 posts)my "career" is about being able to pay my bills.
So Maines is already quite privileged in TWO ways - getting to do something she enjoys and that means a lot to her and second, making tons of money doing so.
Her work means a lot to her? So what is stopping her from keeping it going? She has $40,000,000 she can do whatever the hell she wants.
Me, I have to keep putting in 40 hours a week at scrambling grunt work because it is the only way I have to pay my bills.
I guess if it wasn't for her statement against Bush that many radio stations would be playing more crap like "ready to run".
Like THAT's a huge benefit to the world.
I just don't see how somebody with $40 million has taken a devastating career hit. And many musical acts don't last for more than a decade anyway.
And no, I do NOT want nasty. But even $100,000 would compensate for a whole lot of nasty. To say nothing of $4 million.
To say nothing of $40 million.
