Music, ehh, it's all done with magnets.

Music works?

I thought it plays.  

1. Parent/Teacher/Pirate Captain tells kid, "You'll never amount to anything."
2. Kid has too much free time and uses an inordinate amount of it learning the art of making music.
3. Kid uses music in an attempt to gain popularity among a certain segment of the population.
4. Kid grows up being told that there is no future in music, no hope of ever meeting the "right person", and no chance of any future happiness whatsoever.
5. Kid ignores all advice and rocks out anyway.
6. As an adult, Artist works a bogus day job to finance Operation Get Out Of Parent's Basement.
7. Artist attempts to earn a living with music only to learn why Starving Artists have that name.
8. Artist finds a soul mate, finds happiness, and creates a future.
9. Artist learns that there is more to life than a rusty van/truck/wagon with enough space to haul gear, $50 a week to play for 6 hours, and being asked to play Freebird 18 times per night.
10. Artist pitches a tent/builds a studio/uses an unwanted room in the basement to create a place where music can live.
11. Artist spends ridiculous amounts of time posting in the Coffee House.

From my observations, I think I have a handle on how music works.

1. Parent/Teacher/Pirate Captain tells kid, "You'll never amount to anything."
2. Kid has too much free time and uses an inordinate amount of it learning the art of making music.
3. Kid uses music in an attempt to gain popularity among a certain segment of the population.
4. Kid grows up being told that there is no future in music, no hope of ever meeting the "right person", and no chance of any future happiness whatsoever.
5. Kid ignores all advice and rocks out anyway.

10. Artist pitches a tent/builds a studio/uses an unwanted room in the basement to create a place where music can live.

I'm not entirely sure about that sequence, though.  YMMV

If someone plays Freebird one more time, I'll need to be restrained.
