By the time I was in college, even though I still practiced with a band I already mentally tuned out of my dream. It wasn't really as sharply defined as yours, but I wasn't obsessed with stardom either. I just wanted to play rock in front of people. But since I've had many dreams crushed after musicianship was reduced to dust, Billy's words didn't affect me as much. It was a little like the whole of <i>Solanin</i> as well: a kind of dull pain, a cocktail of despair and resignation spiked with false hopes.

I've a few musician friends of my own, and while they're still all young, I can't help but think about them while reading this page. Powerful stuff, I can say. Oh, a Solanin post!
