I want to be a musician. I want to stand on a stage and hear the cheering and clapping of my fans. I want to pick up my guitar and hear the crowd silence, waiting to see what I am going to play, only to begin cheering a few seconds later when they figure it out. I want to know that people all over this planet are probably fucking, crying, fighting, laughing with my song as the score to the movie of their life. I want to stumble across an Internet message board devoted to me, post a message and watch as the regulars argue over whether it was really me or not. I want to play a small venue under a different name just to see who shows up. I want to pour my sad lyrics into a song so that those who care will know and understand, and those who don't will love it anyway.
I want to be a musician: but for mostly the wrong reasons.
