Hey! Thanks all. A guess it is the general consensus that Lily just got left behind ... again. Why does that always happen to some girls. And why do they let dorks like the Jack keep them on a string along with twenty other girls. I guess us nice guys will never get it.

But I liked your analogy of the bank robbers leaving town and the musicians leaving town. When I was about twenty years old and trying to carve out a living as a musician it seemed that it was always feast of famine. But I remember the feeling of leaving a little town with four hundred buck in my pocket and feeling like I just robbed the place because I couldn't get over that we had just got paid for playing our guitars.
