about winners of song competitions, and how they lost a lot of money. one
guy won a les paul for example, and had to pay tax on the retail price of
it, instead of what one would normally buy it for in a store. the same thing
goes for the money, as all sorts of fees take a bite. i'll try and look for
the article . .

Clif: Remember what Tom Waits said: Step Right Up !!!!!!
Step right up, step right up, step right up,
Everyone's a winner, bargains galore
That's right, you too can be the proud owner
Of the quality goes in before the name goes on
One-tenth of a dollar, one-tenth of a dollar, we got service after the sale
You need perfume? we got perfume, how 'bout an engagement ring?
Something for the little lady, something for the little lady,
Something for the little lady, hmm
Three for a dollar
We got a year-end clearance, we got a white sale
And a smoke-damaged furniture, you can drive it away today
Act now, act now, and receive as our gift, our gift to you
They come in all colors, one size fits all
No muss, no fuss, no spills, you're tired of kitchen drudgery?
Everything must go, going out of business, going out of business
Going out of business sale

That's right, it filets, it chops, it dices, slices,
Never stops, lasts a lifetime, mows your lawn
And it mows your lawn and it picks up the kids from school
It gets rid of unwanted facial hair, it gets rid of embarrassing age spots,
It delivers a pizza, and it lengthens, and it strengthens
And it finds that slipper that's been at large
under the chaise lounge for several weeks
And it plays a mean Rhythm Master,
It makes excuses for unwanted lipstick on your collar
And it's only a dollar, step right up, it's only a dollar, step right up
'Cause it forges your signature
If not completely satisfied, mail back unused portion of product
For complete refund of price of purchase
Step right up
Please allow thirty days for delivery, don't be fooled by cheap imitations
You can live in it, live in it, laugh in it, love in it
Swim in it, sleep in it,
Live in it, swim in it, laugh in it, love in it
Removes embarrassing stains from contour sheets, that's right
And it entertains visiting relatives, it turns a sandwich into a banquet
Tired of being the life of the party?
Change your shorts, change your life, change your life
Change into a nine-year-old Hindu boy, get rid of your wife,
And it walks your dog, and it doubles on sax
Doubles on sax, you can jump back Jack, see you later alligator
See you later alligator
And it steals your car
It gets rid of your gambling debts, it quits smoking
It's a friend, and it's a companion,
And it's the only product you will ever need
Follow these easy assembly instructions it never needs ironing
Well it takes weights off hips, bust, thighs, chin, midriff,
Gives you dandruff, and it finds you a job, it is a job
And it strips the phone company free take ten for five exchange,
And it gives you denture breath
And you know it's a friend, and it's a companion
And it gets rid of your traveler's checks
It's new, it's improved, it's old-fashioned
Well it takes care of business, never needs winding,
Never needs winding, never needs winding

Christ, you don't know the meaning of heartbreak, buddy,
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Ha! All except Fagin's 'you must spring for that little blue jar',
You can tell that fourth grade teacher who gave you a C for not remembering the
preamble to the Constitution to stick THAT in her pipe and smoke it! I take it
that was from memory...

Well, no. I know a lot of those Tom Waits lyrics by heart but I probably
couldn't just type them out all that accurately. I pasted 'em in. His lyrics
are all over the web. I used to wear those old lps of his out. I wore out
the cassettes I made too. Tom is quite a character. A lot of the lyrics are
quite poignant.
I actually entered a songwriting competition when I was about eleven. My dad
gave me the entry fee even though he said it was a waste of money. He was an
amateur composer himself and greatly encouraged my efforts. He was right
about such contests though.
Looking at the contest's sponsors and past winners makes me a little dubious
too. This seems like a real "industry production" if you catch my drift. In
other words: the fix is in. ..........joe

Yep - I had a bass player friend who used to enter a lot - his story is
typical. "Well, I never won, but I got nineteen honorable mentions." Yep, and
they got nineteen entry fees. Everyone's almost a winner!

Don't they have to make some disclosure that the judges are independent and
unafillliated, blah blah blah, or run risk of running afoul of the justice
department? Smells like fraud otherwise.
