I think we are at episode #3 now. This one starts with them driving to California. Apparently her parents are playing the role of managers. Of course, already screwing things up. They actually had to drive to a store and pick up a copy of her first release, a motion picture soundtrack. Now, call me crazy, but a good manager would have had pre-release copies next day aired to their artist. If the CD is in the store, it was in a production line at the least, a few months ago. There is no excuse for not being on top of this. What if they spelled her name wrong, any number of retarded things could have happened, that in this case, would not have been prevented.

Second item on the plate, practice play. I guess the little future star needed to get in some practice time. Her mom managed to set up, with the help of some other manager type, a show at a small club. This club was a cowboy bar type place. What the hell, what in the world is the point? You seriously could not find a better venue?

Third, and I may just be talking out of my ass on this one, but if you break a string during play, you keep fucking playing. This is when Mom and Dad step in, as a manager, or roadie, or whatever they are, and take the remaining 4 minutes of the song to find a replacement guitar. In no case, no matter what, should the artist sit there, stop playing, and try to string her guitar again. “The show must go on” is an expression for a reason. I don’t care if you have crappy mics, no PA, broken strings, or any other number of performance killers, the largest killer, is not performing at all.
