Help Wanted
Well, we’re got seven tunes in the can. They are sounding better than anything I’ve done before! And we think we might have a few songs that might have legs.
Is anybody out there up to the task? Are you willing to break a few legs, cut off a few thumbs, and maybe just be a little ruthless? Would you trade your grandmother to Somalian pirates for the chance to have your client make the big time? Lord knows that what it takes these days.
Back in 1966, in the time of the Summer of Love, The Beatles gave David Crosby an advance tape of the song, “A Day in the Life.” When Buffalo Springfield’s manager found this out, he sent an attractive young girl over to Crosby’s house to steal the tape.
He then took it to the biggest DJ in L.A. and offered it to him with the stipulation that he play his clients’ new song, “For What It’s Worth” every time he played the new Beatles’ song.
A scoop like that wasn’t to be passed up, and so the deal was made. By the end of that summer, everyone in L.A. knew “For What It’s Worth” like it was the national anthem, and it made the charts.
It takes a lot of wherewithal to front a successful band, and we want someone with large quantities of it.
Are you out there? We’ll leave a light on for you.
