Does The Beat Go On?
For some band members, music is just a love and a hobby, but others plan to make it their life.
Axeirod said that he hopes eventually to start his own band, make albums, and go on tours. "I believe music has incredible capabilities o affect people's emotions and their lives. My whole ambition is to make people happy through my music. If I can do that, I'll be happy," he said.
Rotella said that while he plans to keep playing in bands in college, afterwards he has no plans to make a music a career.
Miles C. Coolidge '86, currently bass player for The Stickmen, said that for him, music is a hobby. "I'm an addicted record collector, so this is a logical extension of that. It's about time for me to get on the other side of the needle," he said, adding that he loves "the whole idea of being in a rock band after listening for so long."
Latham said that while he'd like his work to revo've around music, he doubts that he will be a performer. "I'd love to work selling radical instruments to rock and roll stars," he said, "but being one is a little different."
