I was a performing musician for many, many years. You do what you gotta do when your livelihood depends on it.
You do not have to wear make up to be a performing musician!
You did for various bands. I was obligated to look the part. So, I did what I needed to do to make money. Often, I couldn't work during the day. I sure as fuck wasn't going to wash dishes, though I had. I could make more money as a gun for hire, playing with various bands that needed a lead/rhythm guitarist, drummer, bass player, or even a keyboard player. Shit, I've played a keytar - on stage and in public.
I learned something today. You can install Google Translate - and it will even translate text in photographs.
Yeah, my son has that in his phone, we have used it many times for Maximum the Hormone stuff
