This chick is playing everyone f...Right on, dude!!! This chick is playing everyone for total fools. I guess no one supporting her can..well, ADD very well.<br /><br />She is playing the Filmore in San Francisco (put on by Live Nation, THE most corporate music promoter there is) <br />Capacity of the Filmore is listed at 1150. <br />Face Value ticket price = $35.00.<br /><br />Pay out for that night for a full house: $40,250.<br /><br />Of course she is not getting all that, so lets say, she is as dumb as she sounds and she only nets 10k after everyone else gets paid. Yea, how can anyone POSSIBLY afford to throw $500 towards the string section when you pull down 10 grand for a show? This chick is LAME.<br /><br />There is a simple test to see if you are good at arithmetic or not: <br /><br />If you believe Amanda Palmer is telling the truth then you are probably not very good at math.<br /><br />Most of the venues she is playing are at least 500 seaters, and ticket prices are at least $20.00. She is pocketing plenty from all this, thank you very much. She just doesn't want to share. Which is different than her saying in the New York Times that she cannot afford to. Uh yea, she totally can. She just doesn't WANT to. At least cop to that. Two very different reasons. Oh yea, and her music suuhhhhhhhxxxxs. Really sucks.Bassist Ridiculosohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14449570468020331270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1713397068832099475.post-75850186848778457672012-09-16T15:27:05.325-07:002012-09-16T15:27:05.325-07:00"asking people to play for free doesn't m..."asking people to play for free doesn't make her a slave driver.
