(O&A) -- Kris Bayne, the CEO of the variety band, Band of Gold on Thursday laid out his economic plan in the Tribble Valley East Garden, saying that band members as well as fans should put the interests of the American people before politics.
"I am sick and tired of folks not having money to pay the bills, get groceries, fill up a gas tank, or buy the latest Lil Wayne CD," the band leader said. "But, it's not like I am wanting people to get paid for sitting around, hanging out, and partying with friends," Bayne said. Or does he?
Mr. Bayne announced that he alone will help those in need of employment by paying "cold hard cash" to workers just for getting work for his legendary variety band.
"It's very simple. For every event we book, our 'salesperson' gets a cut. You could be that salesperson. It's like a referral fee. The more jobs the band gets resulting from your powerful word of mouth, the more cash you make," Mr. Bayne said.
Bayne, in essence, is redefining music marketing by incorporating the best marketting tool available - word of mouth, and it is just a matter of time before the unemployment rate drops significantly. When asked why he was promoting such a plan to give away money, Kris Bayne's response was, "Cause it's Band of Gold, Baby!"
Yes it is, Kris. Yes it is.
