It would be incredibly hard to put up with, but also very much worth it.

I don't really see how it's selling out. Would I take an easy job that pays lots of money? Yes in half a second.

Hell, Dean...I could either put up with that and make a fortune or stay home and put up with it for free.


LOL

As for me...yeah, I'd do it.  Gotta pay for college somehow. Wink

How does one remain a virgin while waxing loins?

I would not.
I don't know anything about the music of this little girl and, since I have a 9 to 5 job with an average pay, I'm not in a hurry to win thousands and thousands of dollars.
Plus, I'm considering a dilemma: joining a jazz-rock drummer, a prog-metal band, a thrash-metal guitarist or trying to release my own CD-R?

Also you owe me brain bleach for putting Judge Judy and that image in the same sentence.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

No...but I have a family.

I actually like my day job and my family life, and my little gig where I play at most a gig a month and do my own thing for the most part. Music is pleasure for me, and I've seen what it's like when it's work. It is HARD work.

But I would probably turn it down even if Mikael Akerfeldt called too.
 
I'm an old fuddy-duddy.

Definitely YES to this scenario. I'll be playing Lark's Tongues on Wednesday, she'd better call or I'm coming for you Henry Plainview! Angry

I can think of few greater honors that to be merely in the presence of, let alone collaborating with the genius mind that has given humanity the gift of Party in the USA.

I wouldn't classify it as selling out though, just diversifying a little. LOL
And, oh yeah, there is the money thing.  I could use some.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I accept. First because I'd make money. Second because I'd tour the US. Third, I'll wait till she's legal, and I'll deliver Henry Plainview a huge blow to his ego... TongueLOLWink

You are listening to Lark's Tongues in Aspic at 2pm on a Wednesday, and the phone rings. You do not hear it, but after it's done you play the message, and you hear a bright voice say, "Heeeeeeeeey [Your Name]! This Miley Cyrus! I was talking to my, like, best friend Henry Plainview, and he says you're, like, the best [your instrument] player in, like, the whole freaking world! Since he's never wrong, I want to make you, like, an offer. I want you to play with me on a Christmas album! Then we can go on tour! It'll be, like, so aweeeeeeeeeesome! Of course, since I know you're going to, like, be making all kinds of artistic contributions, we'll split the profit from the album and tour 50/50. Call me back babe! My cell is, like, 555-555-5555"

You are stunned and are surprised that Miley Cyrus got your number, since the only person you've called in the past six months is Pizza Hut. What do you do next?
