THE 40 GREATEST LIES OF THE MUSIC BUSINESS

Steve Goodson

The booking is definite 



Your check’s in the mail



We can fix it in the mix



This is the best dope you’ve ever had



The show starts at 8



My secretary will take care of it



I’m sure it will work



Your tickets are at the door



It sounds in tune to me



Sure, it sounds fine at the back of the hall



I know your mic is on

I checked it myself




She’ll be backstage after the show



Yes, the spotlight was on you during your solo



The stage mix sounds just like the program mix



The club will provide the PA and lights



I really love the band 



We’ll have it ready by tonight



We’ll have lunch sometime



If it breaks, we’ll fix it for free



We’ll let you know



I had nothing to do with your marriage breaking up.

It was on the rocks 
long before I ever met you



The place was packed 



We’ll have you back next week



It’s on the truck



My last band had a record deal, but we broke up before recording the album



Someone will be there early to let you in



I’ve only been playing for a year



I’ve been playing for 20 years 



We’ll have flyers printed tomorrow



I’m with the band



The band drinks free



You’ll get your cut tonight



We’ll supply someone for the door



There’ll be lots of maintenance guys when you get there 



You’ll have plenty of time for a sound check



My other horn is a Mark VI 



We’ll definitely come to the gig



You can depend on me
