We have a 40 year old man child who, fortunately, for all of us, does not live with us or near us.  He is an “artiste,” a musician with an “artiste” attitude.  He has two children, is divorced, and lives with his mother.  He makes fun of the 40 year olds who look “old.”  He would rather work without benefits of any sort and travel all over to play gigs at all hours of the day and night.  He thinks money is not important.   However, art is.  He does not want to compromise his soul but evidently, he does not mind compromising his future, his children’s future, and his mother’s money.  What is it about starving artists that both attracts and repels us?  And can’t you have an artist without an attitude?
