Amanda Palmer at TED [Video]
She’s drawn flak for her Kickstarter project (she raised $1.2m) and for not paying the musicians who volunteered to play at her gigs (in exchange for love, free beer and the like). She gives her music away for free, & still raises enough money to pay for her livelihool. Amanda Palmer shares her astonishing story of trusting her audience in his very recent TED talk. Worth your time.
