I don’t know about you, but I love reading autobiographies and watching documentaries about famous musicians. I love learning about the lives that shaped them into the creative people they are. I love hearing about the moments that pushed them to keep going. I enjoy hearing about the ups and downs in their careers and the inspiration for the songs that I love. Recently, I was watching the Garth Brooks documentary on Netflix: The Road I’m On. He was talking about his parents and the lessons they taught him growing up. It got me thinking that every autobiography I have read and every documentary I have watched each have a moment when the musician talks about his parents and childhood. Sometimes the memories are good and sometimes they are bad, but somehow it made a profound impact on the rest of their lives.
