We were in Nashville a few years ago and went to dinner at one of the big name singers’ restaurants. We had a sweet, proficient waitress but she gave off a vibe so I asked her “Are you a singer? Are you here to get your break?”
What she said was so heartbreaking to the 3 of us. She was a singer and was indeed there trying to get her break. But it was expected that the women would sleep around to get a chance. She said that you can guess that every top woman country singer had to sleep with someone to get their song(s) produced. She announced that she wasn’t going to sleep around and she was resigned to not making it. But she was still trying as her mama has asked her not to quit yet. I will NEVER forget her or that conversation!
