Bass player, recording music I love and playing occasional gigs without too much travel. I'd like the music to be famous but not me.

I agree! The life of a succesful enough writer or musician. They're paid to do what they love, they're free, they don't have a boss, they don't have to wear a damn suit.Last edited by Nostromo; May 16, 2007, 19:30.Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – Lessing -

I once read a science fiction novel called Way Station by Clifford D. Simak, about an Earthling employed to oversee a mass transit teleportation station.
He got to meet all kinds of friendly aliens, who brought him all kinds of gifts and nifty alien technologies.

Wouldn't it be best, though, to be the relatively unheralded bass player for a successful band? You'd have the money w/o the downside of fame...

You're one dour fella, Ludd.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Not a bad scenario, and far better than most jobs, but possibly too much touring. If we're talking dream jobs, I wouldn't just be holding up the rhythm, but driving the energy of the song and making people think "wow, nice bass-playing". In a small and financially-unrewarding way, this has kind-of happened anyway, which is why I often think it's better to get kicks out of giving a small venue a good night out now-and-again, than being fabulously wealthy and widely adored while living in a guilded prison as public property.Originally posted by Arrian

It's a major contradiction - being arrogant enough to want people to love what I do without them wanting a piece of me - which is why it's all just a dream. Still, it's better than wanting to be a professional sex-offender, going round molesting women.

Somehow, I think that KH is arrogant enough to belive that they would be "silently longing" for his inspection
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
