was thinking about how much his life is about to change. The attention, the
money, the music contracts, the friends and family (that he never knew existed)
starting to come around looking for a piece of him, the jets and the
limos…forget about it. His life is on a completely different track than it once
was. He has been catapulted to another time and place. His dreams a music
career have come true.
Bang happening in our lives. We long for the day when that one phone call or
email or conversation will change everything. We were just minding our own

Sure he’s made it. But did the Big Bang really happen to him? I wonder how many hours growing up did he spend practicing? How
