I sympathize to a certain extent, but not to the point where I can condone assault.

I took a workshop from a man who was so fascinated, indeed hypnotized by guitar, that his wife objected and they worked out some kind of compromise. (He was spending hours a day playing guitar on the front porch.)

See how superior guitarists are? Football fans would never work out such a compromise.

Final thought - something is out of whack when a 19-year-old has a 'boyfriend' of 35.
