Oh, Hanna! No way! Is that you? Where are your pink hair and piercings?
No, it couldn’t be… You and office work. I thought you would play in “Ganga-bum” till the end. What was wrong? But you told music is your life. I remember how you left me for “Ganga-bum tour”. You said that your choice between music and me is ridiculous, because music is all you need… But you also said that you will never be forty, only twice by twenty! And so what? Money is nothing! Those were your words too.
No, Hanna. It’s a mistake. You see, rock and roll isn't a career or hobby - it's a life force. It's something very essential. We both know it, but you pretend that music was you hobby in student’s times and that’s it.
But Hanna, what about wind in your face? What about an eternal song of life? Or “live fast die young”, at least? It was your credo! Our credo. It was our lifestyle, our air we breathe every day and every moment! Oh shut up. I was trying to “be an adult”. I got married, have a baby and even started to work in KerryPost. As a postman.
No, I don’t. Why do I need higher education? It is for nerds! I’m not a kid! Hey, I said all along I don’t want to live a dog life. No, Hanna, it’s not procrastination. I don’t want to change at all. You will never understand it because your stupid work, stupid children, stupid everything are keeping you in the grip! I’ve had an epiphany one day. I was waiting for my son opposite his school and some children were discussing an essay theme or something. The theme was “How do I see myself in adult life?”. And all of them, despite on little age, were picking on a boy just because he said he want to be a musician. Who may think that be a musician is a bizarre dream?! And then I saw how my son, my Johny, I named him by Johny Cash, my little boy began to trolling that boy too! I turned around and walked away. No, I don’t want to be a father of a boy who thinks music is for underdogs. Oh, that means you are one of them… Who would have thought that explosive Hanna will be extinguished?
