Morrie the Toupee Salesman

An entertaining article in the Financial Times today. While I have gained some sympathy for the rank and file who might see their job threatened by the decline of the music industry, I have little respect for the braying of the bigwigs. I love the apt simile chosen by the speaker talked about in this article:

“We must shame them into wanting to help us. Their snouts have been at our trough feeding free for too long”

The pigs (hogs or sows also work) want their place at the trough back. It’s THEIR trough after all.
