Was it Azeem who said that David Bowie makes most of his money from live appearances? And yet, didn't Joni say that touring actually COSTS her money? How does that work? I know there's more to it than the star's salary - there's the band (and the roadies); there's any special effects (a la Pink Floyd). What else? Somehow I imagine a Bowie show costing more than Joni one, so what's up with that? ______________________________________________________________________ Post your ad for free now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
