So one of my favorite bands is Clem Snide. Recently I was on the site for the band and the lead singer has put up a number of interesting options in the store. For $200 Eef (the lead singer) will write a personalized song for you or someone you love (some of those songs are here). For $1000 Eef will come to your house or anywhere you want and play a show for you (you have to cover travel costs as well). He also used to cover any song you wanted for a certain price and record it for you. I don’t think that option is available anymore. I love his music. I love his voice but I’m not sure I love this idea.
this is Eef
It leads to the question being paid for your creativity. Obviously I would like people to buy the children’s books I draw but that feels different from someone telling me what to draw. Would I draw or paint a picture of a subject someone wanted for $100? I guess I probably would. I definitely would for $1000. Is it just wonderful to be paid for what you want to do or at some point does it get a little sad? I’m not sure. I would like to be able to be successful drawing pictures but how far should I go. Right now I’m just trying to get $1000 together so that Eef will play a show in my living room.
