And when they perform they insist on being paid in cash. Up front.

Source: worked a show where we had to get a bag of $50k and give it to their manager to count before they would go on.

I mean they are blind, so it probably helps with trusting that you're getting paid for it if you can feel the cash.

They grew up rural, and poor, and didn’t trust banks. So, no direct deposit.

A long time ago when I worked a lot of concerts it was typical to see facility and artist management together. in room counting cash. I think this was because at the time most ticket sakes were cash. Though in my experience this always happened during the show, not before. I remember Bill Cosby getting $80k per show and doing two a day.
