DesiDancer, building on DTK's comment,

Can't say that I was as brave as you. But my parents, when they saw me play, were my biggest fans. When I wanted to record a CD, they said they'd help me out (pride prevented me from taking up their offer). My point is, our 'rents got our backs, and that's a really great thing.

I have to share this because it completely made my day: Having worked mostly for large music/entertainment companies, having done some time in the stable (stale) investment banking world, and now with my own dancy-schmancy company, I figured my present career choice is probably the last thing my Dad would appreciate. Much to my surprise, the mellow old guy recently sent me a card saying how proud he is of me and my initiative and ambition to create my own dance company. In 30+ years (ahem, Ennis) I've never heard him say that, ever. He never supported my dancing through childhood and was very vocal about his feelings that I not pursue performing arts as a career or college track. And strangely, it wasn't the puffed up salary or the stable corporate job that inspired him to say he's proud of me. It was the fact that I chose to take some big risks and work my kundi off to be who I wanted to be in this lifetime. Laugh and call me maudlin, but all y'all know desi dads don't come with the compliments often. if ever.

DesiDancer -- didn't want to let this pass by without comment. That's awesome is all I have to say.

But Keith Richards and Mic Jagger will still be kickin' it.

That's because they're actually friggin zombies.

Pfft. 1000 years from now, every writer save five will be be out of print; ten thousand years from now, no one would have heard of Shakespeare. And animals who walk the earth with us are entirely deaf to what we consider "music".

But Keith Richards and Mic Jagger will still be kickin' it.

risible #331: Well, I’m not really a prof., I just took a break from my practice here to go teach in India. Though I may try to get back into academia at some point in the future. As for legal careers in India, there’s lots of growth just from all the increased economic activity, the entry of multinationals, etc. I don’t think very many of the top law school graduates end up doing any of the “legal outsourcing” jobs — I think they find a lot of far more interesting work that probably pays better too.

I smell a 55Friday in this thread- “Cogito ergo blogo.” The proletariate bloviate on life as a (SM) blogger. Or the bourgeoisie bloviate on life as a (SM) blogger. Your allegiances depend on your level of anxiety & alienation.
