I still constantly hear stories about how I did this or that with this or that agencie girl or indpendent How I met some girl and coerced a freebie out of her. How I demand special treament for all sorts fo touring girls.
I only wish it were so. years ago I used to be someone in this business. Everyone who was anyone knew who i was and where I stood in the industry. Now, all I get is disrespect form all sides. Girls who take advantage of my good graces by nor paying their bills. I never get invited out anymore (and freebies, well that's not even a concept). I don't even get "how are you doing" emials when touring girl come thru town or asked out for coffee. All i get is BS "Oh, we'll get togather some time when I'm in town, and them blown off because there always seems to be something more pressing.
I don't know why I should be surprised. I'm not who I used to be, why should I get treated like I still am? I guess it would just be more respectful not to BS me, but look at the group who we are talkng about.
What's my point? You're only as good as the last $ you spent with these girls. It doens't matter what favors you've doen for them: those they "deserve" and have comming top them". If you are looking for any sort of reciprocitiy, you're bark up teh wrong tree. You want payback? Make slimey underground/backchannel deals for freebies with these girl, bercause thats the only thing they respect. And when they tell you they care about you and want to help, make sure to cover your wallet.
