Come on Children

Every budding young musician who has to put up with the harassment of their parents about their chosen career path should watch this. How rare is it to have captured on film one of rock's future guitar gods (Alex Lifeson) having "the conversation" with his parents? Of course a musician probably has a much less than 1% chance of 'making it' so 'the conversation' is warranted. John Hamilton seems to steal the show though. Many commenting on Youtube wonder what ever happened to him. Otherwise, it's interesting to see the interplay between young people back then; strikes me as much more genuine and fun. No cell phones certainly helped. They were more engaged in the conversation - no heads perpetually looking down. And it's also weird that it's weird being so weird. What?
