How to become Famous in less than 2 weeks….

I submit for your approval a signed underground band that embraced a model and became mainstream overnight. Note: I did not say famous, I said mainstream, big difference. Where are they now? They are underground again, but still famous.

Have you ever wondered why they only had one radio single? Have you ever wondered how that song did not sound like anything they have written? Simple, their label wanted them to be on the radio to promote their upcoming US tour. Their only tour people remember in an almost 15 year-long career.

Are you trying to impress me with your skill at gathering votes? Do 30,000 votes mean shit to me when only 30 people show up to see you play live? I can write a computer program to get you 20 million votes if you want. I know, I’ve done it before.
