Become What You Are…

Whatever happened to me?  Wish my parents had got me playing this early.  Maybe this kid was musically inclined; or just started playing one day, and his parents thought “We should get him some Squeeze Box lessons!?”  I don’t know, but the chances of becoming a star are like one in a billion.  Something like that, I heard the quote on a PSA (Public Service Announcement) the other day during the Bears game and it startled me.  There are so many people who aspire to be stars, but there’s only room for so little of us.  Even then, it’s not just about talent.  These days, looks come into play along with age and race.  Money and connections also come into play way more than you think (see this controversy with Lily Allen lately).  But in the long run, if your determined enough or just have a gift like this kid and can utilize it, your gold!
