song selling

Song selling takes place when a singer-songwriter earns money in exchange for the rights to use his or her original music, often to a (more) famous, or up-and-coming, recording artist.

If a singer-songwriter has written a catchy song but seems to fall short on vocal or instrumental ability, a listener might say, "you should sell your song." Hearing this can be extremely disheartening for singer-songwriters, especially those who are still developing their talents, or have not yet enjoyed their fifteen minutes of fame.

Why does song selling even exist? Any band or singer who is worth their weight can write their own songs.

TGE

abbreviation for 'truly gay environment.' A city, town or other general area where any and all sexual preferences are celebrated and encouraged, though not necessarily gay. For example, a person who spends enough time in a TGE such as the Castro District of San Francisco or Greenwich Village in New York will have a fuller opportunity to explore and understand his or her true sexual orientation than someone who lives in an environment where heterosexuality is the one preferred norm.

While San Francisco is thought of as being an ultimate TGE, as recent as the late 1970s it was a struggle for the city to elect its first gay mayor.

Pawleys Plantation

a gated, virtually all white community situated on a golf course in Pawleys Island, South Carolina, located to the south of Myrtle Beach. Many residents of Pawleys Island are middle aged transplants from the north and midwest of the U.S., who claim to have moved south "for the warm weather," "to be near the beach," or "to play more golf." Yet many of these same people seem to see nothing morally wrong about living in a neighborhood whose name contains the word "plantation," which for anyone with any kind of a liberal mind evokes horrific images of slavery and racial segregation.

Pawleys Plantation has a staff of guards at the front gate, twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year.
