I'm speechless! (My mother always said, "If you don't have anything nice to say..........")

I think I can really identify with everything you said.

TRUE DAT!

This is off topic but I thought, as it's related to authorship, some might find it interesting. In 1951, Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats released Rocket 88, a song that has long been viewed as the very first Rock & Roll song. However, the band did not actually exist. This is really Ike Turner with his saxophone player, Jackie Brenston, providing the horn and vocals.

I'm only going by what one particular limb leader told me when I asked about it. But, yeah, if someone did actually hand them a fistful of dead presidents, I don't think they would have refused.

I don't think you were allowed to pay your own way through the corps, at least not in the 1970s. Supposedly, it was some kind of exercise in "believing" to find sponsors. Anyhow, as you said, didn't that theoretically put the sponsors in debt? (They signed on for long term financial obligations.) The only difference I see is in the ability to exact a penalty for default. What were they going to do if you reneged on sponsorship, repossess your WOW_Mobile?

Just my opinion I think at the essence of it all was that they knew if you had long term obligations, commitments, a sense of permanence--- you would be harder to manipulate, less likely to jump at their beck and call. This, I think, played a far greater role than the actual money.

Oh, sure. And end up like Eve did???? No thanks. I'd rather let some self centered, misogynistic, sexually deviant, narcissistic drunkard do my thinking for me. Much easier that way.

Was it Ike Turner?

You first guess is correct.

Maybe this is one of those things Wierwille meant they would "change" as they saw fit.

Nope. He was the producer.

Bending Rules That reminds me of the Amish, who aren't supposed to have phones in their homes. Instead, they have a phone booth installed at the crossroad and all the neighboring farmers leave their homes to use it.
