[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 29585, member: 3579"] For your wannabe rapper, I would encourage him to put up or shut up. You might remind him that the band SlipKnot (very popular death metal band) came from a midwest hick town. Kansas, one of the biggest rock bands ever, came from the little college town of Lawrence, Kansas. There are a million examples of great musicians of all types coming from rural areas. You either have talent or you don't. If you do, you make it - period. If you don't, it doesn't matter where you live. So the idea of having to live the urban ghetto life to have street creds is pure manure, especially for a white boy rapper (nobody will believe him anyway - look at what Eminem had to go through before he was considered legit, and look at what happened to Vanilla Ice when he was outed as a wannabe fake). He could start a MySpace or Facebook site, video his white wannabe rapper BS, and put it up for the world to see. If he's any good, he'll get noticed. Maybe offer to help him set up such a site; might be a good diversion for a while. I also understand about you wanting to jet. There have been times in the last six months that I swore when my kids were grown and out on their own, I was going to take a vow of silence and join some remote monastic group. That was before my wife and I started to join forces and work together, though. I often dreamed of escape, but couldn't go through with it. I hope and pray that you find peace, grace, and strength to get through this crisis. Mikey [/QUOTE]
