The illusions of my childhood, Podcast #195 (Oct 2021)

When I was a young kid, adults, in all their imposing tobacco-fumed majesty, would sometimes lean down to me and ask, "So what are you going be when you grow up, young Niluccio?". Tongue-tied and bursting with red-faced embarrassment, I would eventually manage to croak out something like, "I don't know, I haven't decided yet". Then, with a quick look at my anxious parents' faces, they'd come back for a second go, turning the screws a bit more. "Come on! You must have some idea! Don't you want to be a fireman or a bus driver? Come on, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? You can't go to school for the rest of your life, can you, eh? Ha ha ha!!" Swallowing hard and with sweat now running down my back, I'd eventually manage to say, "Well, I think I might be a music blogger. If I'm good enough. And do a monthly podcast or something ...". "Ha, ha, ha, that's a good one! Hear what your lad just said! A podcast! Ha ha ha ...". Yes, true story (completely made up, but still, essentially, true). Life as a child was always like this - one minor agony after another. But you consoled yourself with thoughts like, "when I grow up I'm going to be a music blogger". Ah, the illusions of my childhood ...
