Sorry I was so off when I wrote my last post. I was kinda rude and I apologize.
I just think it's a bit crazy when people think you can't have it all, or shouldn't have it all - as if having a significant other or a child somehow hinders an artists' ability to create more art. Art is supposed to imitate life, or at least draw from it. Love happens and so do children, there should be no rules as to who should be artists and who shouldn't when spouses and kids come into the picture. Personally if Tom and Ed suddenly said, "you know what, we're going to move to a remote village on the southern Mexican coast, eat lobster all day and have babies with our wives until the end of time" then I say great, thanks for the memories and the great music I have now, and give them my blessings - more power to them! In essense, they really don't owe us anything. We're just really lucky to have their art as a part of our lives.
And who's to say except them, that their significant others and (in Tom's case, his child) don't offer inspiration and joy that they can put into their music? ;)
And who knows anType, you may meet the woman you want to marry tomorrow and after that, who knows? I personally had all these plans for independence and all that, then when I was 22 I met the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. And the rest is history in the making and I don't regret a thing. Not one thing, I chose the path I'm on. Love happens and it's a great and powerful thing.
be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle
