ROCK STAR

I want to be a rock star. That’s right, a rock star. All my life I dreamed of being up on stage with the lights shining down on me dancing the night away singing a song that I wrote that everyone knows. I would dream of having an entire band behind me while I sang a sad love song that people lit their lighters and swayed to. I tried to make it happen, I really did. I even got close once. I had the manager and the record deal, but the problem was with the branding of my persona. No one quite got me the way I wanted them to. I was way to stubborn to settle for any less than I felt I deserved. I played at a few venues in New York and Chicago but they didn’t lead very far, I had a few interested prospects but no one followed through once they realized that I wasn’t willing to budge. Now I fear that I am too old for the Hollywood gig. I still play here and there at venues across the country but it will never be like my dream until I get a record deal and a two hundred million fans.
