Entertainers/Rockstars/Athletes might get multi-million dollar contracts... but only Engineers get multi-billion dollar contracts.

I wish someone could just ask Bill (or FIRST), "If will.i.am and his friends weren't performing, would all four FRC fields have been on the arena floor?" When you speculate it's really easy to make assumptions, and we all know what those do...
