Is it wrong to pretend to be a rock star?<\/p>\n
I’ve always wondered – I mean, I have the PA – the number of watts requisite.. and now a intelligent lighting system – <\/p>\n
and I wonder, is it so in my mind I can pretend to be what I always wanted to be, but actually have not enough talent for?<\/p>\n
[Of course, that last point is also somewhat open to debate.. as I practice more and more, I get better and better.. and someday maybe I’ll be good enough to have people want to go see me. On the other hand, I can’t imagine after going to see Simon & Garfunkel and the Indigo Girls that I’ll ever be in their league.. ]<\/p>\n
So yes, I think there is a tinge of walter mitty in my overly electronic basement. But there are worse ways to entertain yourself. My hobby hurts no one.. and while it might be a drain on the bank account, the truth of the matter is it’s not that big of one. I figure I spend a average of $4000 a year on music equipment. I probably spend a average of 45 minutes a day playing. That’s 273 hours a year, divide by $4000 and you find my hobby costs me $14 a hour. A bit more than the movies, but not a lot more.<\/p>\n
And it gets more entertaining all the time, too. Most hobbies get steadily more boring the more time I put into them.. but this, the more I do, the more fun it is.. <\/p>\n
