Agree... but....

that's the fame, the constant adulation, that they are seeking. It's like a drug.

But as for music... I've played music my entire life and I have never met a single musician who didn't love making music until they physically couldn't - - and even then they never gave up hope that somehow they'd recover their health so they could play.

Two years ago my band stopped playing.... first time in over 60 years I was not 'regularly' playing in a band. And we didn't actually 'disband'... should something big come up we'd load the gear and show up - - - but the last time I officially played was.... ummmm, two years ago? I mean in a band. At home?

I've never stopped playing and never will. Even if it's just a pad and a hi-hat I doubt if more than a few days go by where I don't play at all. I have a practice drum pad in my bed. Oh man does my wife love that.

Drums ARE the most annoying musicians, people actually... because we never stop beating on stuff. If a good song comes on I'm going to hit anything available.
