Well, there is that.
guessing it's not a vibe.
We're like, hey, come on down to the Cotton Club.
I mean, you know what's going to make your boss really pleased is your mom and dad calling every day and being like, how come you're not paying her more for the same work?
Yeah.
I think they're going to really treat you well while you're working there the whole time.
Was she working solely as a dancer?
Was she singing at this point and dancing as well?
She's been there for a while.
And those times, I mean, that was more than just an AM track.
All right, cool.
She's a pretty lady with a stick and they're like, great, you should be at the front.
This is so complicated because first of all, it's like, does her mom and her stepdad have a job at this point?
Or is their only job annoying her employers?
But then he's like, okay, you know, lots of people, and I mean, Mike doesn't have necessarily skin in the game.
It sounds like he's a white guy.
And but he's like, you can't just let your Black entertainers be treated like second class citizens because there'd be no show.
And that's a thing that a lot of Black artists historically have had to do and like put their foot down about.
So he is doing something quite useful, but he's doing it in the most stage dad way where it's just like, can you just please let me work?
Why did you follow me to Philly?
