[kj] Charging extra for a set list of our choice

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Lionel Richie, Mariah Carey, and some other big name celebs were hired by,
and performed for, Khadafi's family a few years ago, when the US (under Bush
of all people) was briefly considering Khadafi to be an okay guy:

They were paid millions for the private shows. ("Another Qaddafi son, Seif
al-Islam el-Qaddafi, reportedly paid Carey $1 million to sing four songs at
the previous year's New Year's party, also in St. Barts. ")

On the other hand, did Fugazi ever say folks could pay them some extra $$$
for a setlist of their choice? Not that KJ have ever pretended to be of that
level of, well, integrity. And that's despite the lyrics on Extremities,
which would make one sorta think they did have some pretty strong
convictions in this area. Times change, eh?
