you know I wonder about this a lot. more than a lot actually.
I am scared sometimes that the kind of passion we have for things like music when we are young will get lost in the real world. I don't ever want to lose it because I dunno, there's just something about hope in music and I guess all art that is so important to me. I don't want to have to grow up and become a slave to duty and forget that there are things like music out there that can open up your mind and help you get perspective. I don't know what Im saying really right now, so don't mind me.
this reminded me of something my dad said to me after I took him to a U2 concert last summer...we were walking out, and he told me, "You know I got this feeling while I was in there that I've sold out somehow. Bono's a really cool guy, he's never going to sell out on his beliefs." And I look at my dad, he only really listens to the music from his teen years, I've burned plenty of stuff for him to try and just let him have something new and recapture that a bit, but U2 has been the only real success with him, I don't know for sure why but I do have an idea.
anyway, way too much info, Im sorry, but this is a great topic I think
