I’m always intrigued to hear artists and musicians tell their personal stories. With many of them, there is a common thread within their story–a bit of resistance they feel, especially as they get older, usually from family or significant others. The words may vary slightly, but the sentiment behind the words is pretty much the same:

“When are you gonna grow up?”

“When are you going to get a life?”

“When are you going to get a ‘real’ job?”
