"The American artist is expected to be both a saint and a martyr.
Operate outside the capitalist system and we’ll praise you for your
creations, call your poverty a quaint kind of martyrdom that has nothing
to do with us, and at the same time resent you for being holier than
thou. Try to operate within the capitalist system and we’ll call you out
as an imposter."
I'm disppointed - but not surprised - by all this anger against
Pomplamoose. How dare they try anything new and innovative? How dare
they publish their expenses? How dare they pay their backup bands? How
very dare they! Clearly they are scam artists of the very worst kind,
spending money collected from their fans on touring their music!
