A guy goes into a recording studio and hands the engineer what must be 50 grand in cash. He says, "I want you to record exactly what I say, then use the leftover money to print up as many CDs as you can, and send them to every record label head, A&R rep, talent scout and manager in the business."
The engineer looks at the huge amount of cash and agrees. He sets up a mic in the booth then heads back into the console. The guy goes into the booth, closes the door and starts to speak:
"Since I was little, all I ever wanted to be was a musician. I trained with the best in the business, practiced every day, and made myself too be the best I could possibly be. I learned to write songs and record, played every instrument on my demo tapes and created masterpieces. And then I brought them to you people at the record companies. And you rejected me. I tried again and again, refining and bettering my work, but the response was always the same - that people didn't want musicianship, talent, and songs written from the heart. They wanted easy to swallow crap that was familiar and easy to listen to. They wanted the same old shit, instead of something original!"
"Well, I'm fucking fed up! I've worked my whole life and have never been successful! You've ruined my dream, crushed my hopes and destroyed me! I have nothing left to live for, and I hope you're all happy!"
With that, he takes a gun out of his pocket and shoots himself dead, right in the vocal booth.
Just then the engineer comes on the talkback mic and says, "Okay, I got the levels all set. Let's try a take."
