Where have all the dreamers gone?

Yesterday I went to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra with my family, and it was absolutely amazing! I think the most impactful part of the entire show, though, was when my brother leaned over to me at one point and he said, "Leslie, the coolest thing about this is that all of those guys down there... they're winners. They're overcomers. They're dreamers. They did it, they made it happen."

and it took me a second to let that sink in entirely. But there, on stage, were a bunch of people who were probably told a million times they were crazy. I mean honestly, before them, how many rock and roll Christmas orchestras were there? I bet they heard all the time "there's no way...you can't do it... no one will come to watch you... you guys are crazy" and yet there they were. Performing their 2nd of two nearly sold out shows, with 11,000 people at each paying $50 to come see them.

Dreamers.

Now tell me, what is your dream? What's your crazy idea that everyone says "oh you couldn't possibly.. that's great and everything, but lets be realistic...."

and better yet, what's mine?

"Dream on... dream on... dream on... dream until your dream comes true" -Aerosmith

"We are waiting, we have not forgotten" Trans-Siberian Orchestra: in my opinion... their best song...
