[quote=Blogstar]Thanks Car,
My sad story really isn’t that off topic.
People basically do and think what they are groomed for with a little variance here and there.
I am in a hurry this morning but was think about your post about soulless jobs and whatnot yesterday.
How many people do we now who were groomed for the machine including it’s academic institutions. conformed wonderfully and now have some nice skills and a life with no stronger attributes than a job for a very mentally strong monkey and conspicuous and invidious consumption to show for it. We have some on piggington’s that nearly fit that mold. Lots of ways to have a sad life. Not aimed at piggs because we are all great parents no matter what..but you probably don’t want to be the child of this kind of person either. At least I was not Dick Cheney’s son , for instance.
I don’t want to expend the energy to relearn trumpet but I am leaning towards guitar for myself with the hopes that one of the kids will at least take it to the level of playing 3 or 4 chord songs and singing nice songs.[/quote]
Songwriter Harlan Howard once said “All you need to write a country song is three chords and the truth.”
Lou Reed said “One chord is fine. Two chords is pushing it. Three chords and you’re into jazz.”[4
