How Musicians Suffer

Don't get me wrong, I know every band has to pay its dues, take every gig it can get, suffer through the hard times, and all that crap. But there comes a point when some club owners seem to feel like they're an evil slum lord in the back of Dirty Gootchie's Night Club, believing 5% off their crappy bar food is more than justified payment for the local musician trying to make ends meet pursuing their dream. Of course, some small club owners are the best people in the world, and the complete opposite of Robert Gooch. But some of them are basically a carbon copy of Robert Gooch. ;)
