I missed this the first time around. John, do you have any
idea what preparation for a performance entails? Not to
mention the hours and hours preparing one's voice or musical
skills to perform for a major orchestra? Learning your
instrument to that point is no feat to be brushed off by
anyone who has never done it. The hours to prepare alone are
more than even the best prepared athlete and on the night of
the performance they must be at their best... no excuses
there, unlike a cleanup hitter who strikes out with the bases
loaded or a running back who fumbles on the one year line, or
a basketball player who misses a free throw at the buzzer.
There is no room for error like that when you are performing
Beethoven's fifth and it comes to your solo. They are worth
every penny!
Likewise, Tyson... the man didn't get where he is today by
hanging around the observatory for a few hours... Let him get
paid what the market will bear... even if it is a pre-written
lecture. One doesn't go to a lecture expecting to have your
life changed, but to learn something you didn't know before.
How many of you have actually attended a Lewin lecture? I
have attended several and the man is an amazing teacher!
Worth every cent he is paid and worth his weight in gold for MIT!

If you go to an opera with a
star, the star gets a large salary for a few hours
continually work atrehearsal. How much does a star athlete get/game? If you look at
the amount of training and preparation, Tysen may be overpriced
compared to a trained singer or dancer who has to
lecture, and hetheir art. Tysen merely has to write and deliver a
underpaid relative to a star athlete.probably has a number of boilerplates ready. He may be

I viewed an archive of the SF Symp. strike of a few years
derided that they "got" $165k and they wanted more! Ha!
Most musicians good enuf for a major orchestra started < six
and pr hours daily forever.
bc retired w/ > 1/2 that, so the musicians were not overpaid.
