Well, logically you'd think that if you were able to get performances in major places or whatever and the turnout was decent, and they see that you have enough listeners, there would be a better chance that you could find the bigger producers and they would pay attention...which would put you a step ahead of the others who have done nothing worth mentioning. My mindstate was it's the same thing...in writing, you have to struggle to find a good publisher/agent out there, and you have to attract their attention --- and with the high supply of manuscripts (aka songs in this case), they're looking for people who have prior experience and could make their job easier. It's easy to assume the same rules would apply, and having people chant your name would in a good deal of cases put you in a bad position because that editor/agent/radio man gets hundreds of requests and having people constantly scream at them to play so-and-so, you'd think that person would be agitated.

You do have to admit I had a legitimate case...the similarities of getting yourself out there are astounding:

1. Both are constantly flooded with requests.
2. Both spend long amounts of time on going through these requests.
3. Both get thousands of amateur requests and they get agitated, and if they're in a bad mood from all these idiots submitting to them, they'll be picky at things like people calling them over and over.
4. Both are looking for a positive profit from the requests they do endorse: a good amount of listeners for a song, or a good amount of sales for a book.

So it's a logical mistake to make that they would both go by the same basic code of conduct. But, you're the one with the experience in the music industry.
