Yup, I dated several ladies prettier and more talented than her who didn't get so much as a sniff from the big talent agencies but are locally known in Nashville. One gal in particular was made to work real hard for a billionaire (entertaining his high end clients with country music), but her career didn't take off probably because she wouldn't bang the guy or his friends and her mother was a high profile entertainment lawyer. In other words, her mom protected her, so the girls only way to advance would be for her to "make the first move". She told me many stories about non-managmeng band talent that would not work with her unless she agreed to sex. At the time I just thought these were the occasional asshole you had no navigate, only in the past few years have I come to realize how bad it is.
