to actually make money at it, you deserve to be paid! The bar owners LOVE it when they have a full house, sweating and drinking and dancing, but they can't spare a small percentage for the people who made it possible?
The bands get enough abuse without getting stiffed for their rightful pay... I remember one place that had a "dressing room" that was actually a tiny bathroom with an overflowed toilet and a half inch of stinking water over the whole floor...Our guitarist cut out a big STAR out of colored papar and hung it on the door...

Shit, this is enough to make me hate Boehner right here if I didn't already.
