Is the little drummer boy the archetype for artists who feel they don’t actually have to give anything?

I remember Live Aid where we were expected to cough up $$ but the artists just had to contribute their time. It had to be a real irritant to the Magi who after all those years in Mage school could contribute gold frankincense and myrrh and then this kid shows up and starts drumming and gets his own song

Probably more about the youth of the drummer, not his profession.

    Like Casey Kasem from the old Show Top 40 said. "Keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars" dude!

    did you forget that the little drummer boy was a poor and the only thing he had to give was his music. and a Magi is not a Mage, as a Magi is a "wise man" while a mage is a magician. and they gave expensive gifts because unlike the little drummer boy, they were rich and could afford those gifts.
