Greetings world!
My name is William Crosley Bennett. I’m a singer-songwriter based in Chicago, Illinois, and I’d like to introduce you to my latest track.
“Golden, Colorado” tells the story of my parents meeting and, in a figurative sense, “striking it rich.” With this release, I too intend to strike it rich (literally). Given the nature of the music industry in 2024, my best hope is a pyramid scheme.* That’s where you come in.
Step 1. Listen
Step 2. Share this page with 5 friends
Step 3. Enjoy a lifetime of good karma†
Thanks to the magic of exponential functions, if this process repeats 10 times, “Golden, Colorado” will be sitting at 9,765,625 streams. A staggering number! With Spotify’s current streaming rates, those almost 10 million streams would yield just enough to cross the poverty line, far from a living wage in Chicago.
Striking it rich, indeed!
With sincere gratitude,
-WCB
*Not an actual pyramid scheme. Sorry to disappoint all the federal investigators reading this.
†Failure to comply will result in a lifetime of missed buses and deep, existential regret.
