So picture yourself in that imaginary band again. You've enjoyed some success. Maybe you had a business manager fleece you along the way. Maybe you extended yourself a bit too far and took some financial knocks on the head. Or maybe one of your band mates became an unmanageable alcoholic mess. It's all good just as long as the alcoholic weak-link can hold it together and make music that sells or that people want to pay to see. But now you've got a family. And the financial gains you retain going into the future really matter. You owe it to your family to provide for them the best future possible. And there is no way for you to know as you approach your fifties how long this wave will last. God forbid colon cancer might be lurking around the corner. You may only have a few years left to capitalize on the blowback from the early talents that got you where you are.

再び架空のバンドにいる君自身を想像してごらん。数々の成功に酔いしれたバンドさ。
おそらく君から途方もなく巻き上げるマネージャーもいることだろう。
ちょっと手足を伸ばしただけで、金銭問題にぶち当たる。あるいは君のバンド仲間が、手の付けようのないアル中となって、ゴタゴタを引き起こしたりする。
それでもいいのさ。アル中同士はつるんで互いの傷を舐め合って、作った音楽が売れて、金を払って観に来る連中がいさえすればね。
いいかい、君にはもう家族がいるんだ。君の安定収入はこれからとても重要になってくる。
家族の素敵な未来のために、君はそれを充てなきゃならない。
50の坂を越えつつある君が知るべきことは、こんな調子がいつまでも続くはずはないということだ。
大腸がんが人知れず蠢動しているなら、とんでもないことだ。
今の君を築いた昔日の才能の残滓を生かすも殺すも、残された猶予はもう既に、ほんの数年でしかないのではないかな。

お礼

ありがとうございます
