Here's what I'm thinking:

Let's say they offer me an insultingly stingy contract...say $500 a show. After a tour, even a small one, my bank account would be fatter than it's ever been. And let's not forget all the accoutrements that come with being a bassist in a band of SP's rank: the free drugs, the sexy slutty groupies, the chance to meet musicians whom I actually respect. Further, when Ibold splits with SY, guess who'll drop them a line?

Sorry, but I'll gladly sell out for, like, 6 months if all that will be my reward. And I don't even LIKE The Pumps. Come to think of it, I don't really play bass either.
