The Public Good would like to announce its latest money making innovation -- hiring out guitarist/piano man Sam to music festivals and parties as a Living Statue. Preferably at festivals and parties where we're playing, but we're open on that if the idea takes off.Why shill out Sam this way? As the band accountant, I'm the guy charged with finding ways to make us some dough. And how, in this brutal post-everything music business climate, does a band make any money these days? Here's the typical route: - Some CD sales [we remain shy of our goal of 2.5 million total sales],- T-shirt sales [see www.thepublicgoodonline.com, ours are super sweet], - Beer money from live shows [so long as the band is not comprised of big drinkers]. You know where this is going. It's time for big new ideas. Lucky for us, Sam, the Stoic Public Goodsman, can hold a single pose for up to an hour, even at practice (so long as no one offers him food). So look out PHILADELPHIA: for this weekend's Waverly Street party we've bought bronze colored paint and worked up "The Townsend Windmill," "Hendrix with Lighter Fluid," and "Cobain Asleep Onstage." (Others please contact me for pricing options, and note that all photos with Sam will cost individuals $3 but can be emailed same day to customers.)
