        There are a lot of people involved in creating a new album and touring the country. If these people didn’t work for her then she’d be playing guitar in a bar for tips. She deserves to be rich, but the people who work for her deserve fair pay and a 0.001% cut isn’t fair, it’s just the way it is.

          Exactly.

          Nobody gets through life alone, and for fucking sure, nobody succeeds in life without the help of many many others.
