I just watched a documentary about this band called Bang Tango, which was pretty depressing, because they weren’t ever that famous but the lead singer is still trying to tour some 35 years later.

His voice is gone from too many years of partying but he keeps going on stage and trying to sing, which usually ends up with him holding the mic out for the audience to sing for him.

Some of these old dirt rockers just can’t let go of the past and so they keep chasing the rainbow but never to reach it. I’m happy doing HVAC tech work at the local HVAC company and playing with my band on the streets just for fun and not chasing anything. This guy from Tango is just lost and doesn’t know what else to do because he’s been doing this since he was a teenager. I know a couple of heating reps who are like this with volleyball still, trying to chase the pro circuit even though their best days have come and gone. They would be better off just cleaning ductwork and putting the volleyball career in the rearview once and for all. Life is like a movie and all of the characters make the movie and it wouldn’t be a great movie without the failures and success stories all wrapped up together. I fall somewhere in the middle with my HVAC business that was semi successful and my music which is mediocre at best, but at least I am still chugging along and enjoying the ride for the most part. Enjoy your ride too.
