Hey I have a great idea! My career is in the toilet. I'll go to your
country. I'll listen to all these great songs that you sing. I'll study
them. I'll write a whole bunch of songs that sound just like them. To make
it sound really authentic, I'll hire you at union scale to play on my record
that sounds just like your songs. People will pat me on the back for being
such a cool guy who is so nice to give you a job. I'll keep the millions in
royalties. I won't record any of your songs that mine sound just like
because then I would have to share. I'm so proud that I did Ladysmith Black
Mambazo such a huge favor when people started calling me Mr. Brickell.
