If I recall correctly, I have never visited the "Hop 20".....uh, I meant to say the "Hot 20" -- since the day I signed up for a site membership a few years ago.
I have never cast any votes for the "Hot 20". It isn't a thing that interests me.
Frankly, I suspect that only a select group of members really care much about the "Hot 20". About all that a "Hot 20" posting will get you is a little bit of bragging rights, and a number of detractors.....
.........people that will contend that your work isn't any better than theirs -- so how come someone such as you gets to be in the "Hot 20", anyway ((and not me))?
This game has gotta be rigged. If it wasn't rigged, then I would be the one holding the winning ticket.
Or so one suspects.
I have a suggestion:
Why not hold an annual autograph session for all "Hot 20" winners?
Anyone with the distinction of a "Hot 20" posting would make a personal appearance in front of the Grand Ole Opry House on Jan. 2nd of the following calendar year -- the "Hot 20" winners would sign autographs and have individual pictures of themselves taken with all of their fans -- for a small fee, of course.
After collecting the fees, all of the "Hot 20" inductees should have enough money to retire into a life of luxury.
Of course, I will claim my 10% cut for coming up with the idea in the first place.
I'll be waiting for my first check in the mail.
