Selling out is a common idiomatic pejorative expression for the compromising of a person's integrity, morality, authenticity, or principles in exchange for personal gain, such as money. In terms of music or art, selling out is associated with attempts to tailor material to a mainstream or commercial audience; for example, a musician who alters his material to encompass a wider audience, and in turn generates greater revenue, may be labeled by fans who pre-date the change as a sellout.
In political movements a "sellout" is a person or group claiming to adhere to one ideology, only to follow these claims up with actions contradicting them, such as a revolutionary group claiming to fight for a particular cause, but failing to continue this upon obtaining power.
An example of political selling out is a political party who has formed a coalition with another party it had historically opposed, such as the Liberal Democrats' leader Nick Clegg's coalition with the Conservative Party after the 2010 general election in the United Kingdom.
Kevin Fowler (born ca. 1966 in Amarillo, Texas) is an American Texas Country artist. He has released five studio albums, and has charted four singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including the top 40 hit "Pound Sign (#?*!)". In addition, he wrote Sammy Kershaw's 2003 single "Beer, Bait & Ammo", Mark Chesnutt's 2004 single "The Lord Loves the Drinkin' Man" and Montgomery Gentry's 2009 single "Long Line of Losers".
Fowler was the younger of two children. His father introduced him to country music when he was a child, and as a teenager Fowler also developed a liking for rock music.
He graduated in 1984 from Tascosa High School in Amarillo.
Long interested in making music, Fowler began piano lessons as a young child. When he was twenty, he realized that he wanted to seriously pursue a career in music and moved to Los Angeles, California, to attend the Guitar Institute of Technology. For the next year, he learned how to play the guitar and began writing songs.
There are no goodbyes, only 'See you agains'
And Minnesota is too far away to picture your eyes
So here's to a love that will be a dying flame
I'll wait for you to come back home
Don't say goodbye, just leave your tears on my shoulder
And recognize this passing time as our story unfolds
So this time it's my turn to wait for you
And I'll be the one your holding on to
My picture on your wall hangs higher than the rest
This image in my mind plays more
Than the last time you saw me and I will see you again
I made a CD with all those songs
That make me think about you
And now that your gone
I find myself counting the days till your home
So here's a song from me to you
With all those things that were left unsaid
And memories fade away
But we'll be the same
Don't say goodbye, just leave your tears on my shoulder
And recognize this passing time as our story unfolds
Good, goodbye to this bittersweet romance
Good, goodbye to this bittersweet romance
Good, goodbye to this bittersweet romance
('Cause fate has a funny way of dealing me these cards)
Good, goodbye to this bittersweet romance
('Cause fate has a funny way of dealing me these cards)
So this time it's my turn to wait for you
And I'll be the one your holding on to
My picture on your wall hangs higher than the rest
This image in my mind plays more
Than the last time you saw me and I will see you again
(Good, goodbye to this bittersweet romance
Good, goodbye to this bittersweet romance)
So this time it's my turn to wait for you
And no holiday will be the same
Without your voice whispering those words of comfort
