Money Becomes King
This disconnect between the artist and the audience is one of the subjects that Tom uses to explore the theme of greed that was the overarching construct behind the album. So this leads me to another quote from Tom in that 2002 interview that really does just get down to the nub of the matter. He asks; “How much money do you need?” And yes, I know that Tom was a multi-millionaire, but that was off the back of his creative work and performing for people. Can you imagine for one second him accepting the new model of dynamic pricing?Check out the song here : https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=I6Hzr3h9g0kAnd you can watch the stunning live performance from the Olympic here : https://youtu.be/o8_kNGRLPHEDon't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Follow: https://linktr.ee/tompettyprojectListen: https://pod.link/1580769475All music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.
