Power to the actors union.Britain is being taken over by idiot reality tv bums who can't even string a sentence together,making millions,while good actors are on the dole.I was on strike for a year in 1984/5 against a right wing government that used all it' might to beat us.BONES LITTLE.P.S,Alan ,Turkey don't fuck with the baldies man,heehee,great film
The contract passed. And the future is now. This is an ACTUAL Breakdown from 4/22/10 for a UNION spot advertising the popular Apple iPad that will earn a union actor $98 TOTAL for a year of UNLIMITED USE.
Union Status SAG
Conflicts None
Run(Usage) Web & New Media including viral, iPhone & iPad
Rate *$88 for 10 hour day (min. wage) + $10 buyout for 1 year
In hearing the lyrics I can't help but wonder if there's some chance that he may be referring to his ex-wife (Marg Helgenberger) when refering to CBS and then the last line: "Meanwhile, come see me on TV!"
when a cook is cooking or not, you can tell; when a painter is painting or not, you can tell; when a musician is playing or not, you can tell. HOW CAN YOU TELL WHEN AN ACTOR IS ACTING OR NOT? these "talking props" were offered the same deal as the writers and the directors, but NO! they're special! no wonder no one in the business likes them...
Brilliant. The short sighted actors following the big name actors into their own demise will understand when they have no more jobs. The only saps who have to live with a shitty contract are the rank-and-file middle-class actors. The A-list celebs could care less, except they don't want a strike because they're also producers. Alan Rosenberg is the only true liberal union man left at the offices! I support him!

Oh GAWD...what a sad sack. HE BLEW the contract negotiations MONTHS ago! He is the worst voice the union has ever had. He has hurt SAG members badly and continues to do so by going to court tomorrow. He doesn't get it. We have to get past him and move on.
I agree with reelmakebelieve. Great song. Anyone with a negative comment is clearly missing the irony behind this all. Really, can't we all just get along?? There really is a piece of the pie for everyone...
It's just amazing to me how actors refuse to stand up for themselves and hatefully bash Alan Rosenberg who has done nothing except spend his time FOR FREE trying his best to represent everyone in the union and get us a fair contract. Sadly, actors will deserve what they get unless they smarten up.
See our soft spoken strong leader who went out on a limb for us. We stand side by side with you. uh sir, are we going to get blacklisted & never hired again for this or what?
Other side has way more means to publicize their view & spin an unfair view.
labor negotiations r different, we should all get a workshop from AFL CIO
Whats with the patheric ad hominen argument and name calling in this comment section.? Instead of all of this immature name calling why dont you try to convince the rest of us that he is wrong with some valid points...Calling the guy on idiot just makes me think that you the name-caller are an idiot.....
Goldengun-I'm glad that you are successful enough to label other extremely successful, talented, rebels as failures. A man who essentially sacrificed his career for his union. To the rest of you- lighten the fuck up... you don't know what goes on behind closed doors. You sit back, and make careless, cowardly statements without any consequence. The fact that he is so tirelessly bashed and vilified, and still be able to make a song about it is incredibly admirable.
Well, I wouldn't expect anyone to understand the irony ... Alan, you have heart, spine and yes even a morose and self-effacing sense of humor in the face of such destructive and hateful cowards who've sold out the union for pennies ...
Please, Alan, play this wretched piece of crap at all the SAG rallies. The Strike Autorization will most certainly fail and the town can get back to work.

TO SAG ACTORS VERY IMPORTANT
VOTE NO ON NEW CONTRACT
Your SAG President says to, to 1) protect our union and 2) gain LEVERAGE.
Your image will be used for free in perpertuity, plus no more OT or meal penalties
VOTE NO to help kick out producer puppets who've infiltrated our union.
Remember, producers NEVER PLAY FAIR, ALWAYS GO BACK ON THEIR WORD & WILL NOT revisit residual issue (like DVDs 20 yrs ago).
VOTE NO ON NEW CONTRACT, IT'S UNFAIR!
VOTE NO, VOTE NO! VOTE NO!
