Gran bel pezzo, grazie. La riflessione sul perché andare avanti nel fare le cose nonostante la mancanza assoluta di certezze e nebbia fitta sulle aspettative, mi ha ricordato questo pezzo di Eugene Robinson: https://eugenesrobinson.substack.com/p/oxbow-the-grammy-gank-the-horror , per quanto la sua band abbia raggiunto sicuramente dei risultati degni di nota.

In particolare quando scrive:

"[...] my understanding of what climbing in a van is all about and what it’s about, insofar as I’ve been able to tell, from 1981 to 2023, is maintaining a certain poise and balance worthy of any shaman to get through 40 plus years of staring at roads that ribbon out in front of you to fates and fortunes unknown. All of which you pay for, and hope you get paid back for.

If you’re still doing this and playing stadiums or at the very least large festivals, then it makes sense. If you’re doing this and you’re playing clubs, it becomes like the Jesus Prayer, something you say, or do, over and over again, hoping for some sort of version of enlightenment."
