I've decided when I grow up I want to be a folk singer.

Not too preachy, but maybe kind of thoughtful and funny. Not too mainstream because those guys just suck. But enough to get the toe tapping and maybe some idiots to think.

I can tour around and go to folk festivals and do NPR interviews and sometimes be on T.V.

I can have sex with the most attractive female folk singer I see. We'll probably get married but not start one of those ridiculous family bands because we like our own solo stuff too much.

We can change our styles a bit but still remain pretty true to our roots. We'll have a few kids who can be musicians if they want too. Not folk necessarily, maybe like cabaret singing or opera or something. Just being around our music will make them into it though. Even if they rebel as teens. One could be gay...or both...whatever , we are folk singers.

My career could stall but maybe I could act, or reform old groups or produce records, shit like that until me and the wife make awesome comebacks. Always making comebacks.

And I could eat the free pies that hippies bring me backstage to thank me for my songs.

When I grow up I want to be Loudon Wainwright III.

Tomorrow I'm taking a bus to city hall and changing my name to Loudon Wainwright IV.
