This line has really affected me.

9. I agree. But, being noteworthy was not my goal.

Being satisfied that what I had done in life was out there and hopefully doing its job is what I wanted. To be able to live and do that.

Oh, what a Universal Income would do for artists! To have the means to at least survive while you follow your dream is a luxury that I never had and my life during those times were something I would not wish on my worst enemy. Sure, there were good times. The fact that they were the exception is very disturbing when one thinks about it.

Forgiveness is something that is hard for me. Mainly because a) this brain loves to replay things, and b) there are some things that cannot be forgiven.

Well, being an entertainer, 'lying' is kind of my trade. (LOL). I take comfort in the fact that it is done for that purpose and does not (normally) translate into actual falsehoods that would affect people'e lives (Hear that, Fox???)

But, I hear you. There is always the comfort that I did not start a war, or cause a riot (we almost did once... rock bands can have that effect on some folks), nor have I destroyed someone's livelihood.

There is comfort in that, for sure.
