Now everything's clearer. A lightworker needs to mind about his basical financial needs too. When I think of selling out my music, I would only do it if I had not enough money to eat. That's what happened to Elvis, his family was extremely poor, and he knew he had to do it and he surrendered to the Colonel knowing he was going to have a long decadence of suffering.

Let's say Elvis was Darth Vader/Anakin and the Coloner was Palpatine/Emperor.

Some could think Elvis lived the greatest kind of life or so... but he was unhappy as hell, yet... he was "The King" that gave him kind of satisfaction.

Until The Beatles and others came (Dylan, Stones...) and he even lost his kingdom... and that drove him mad. He was a good guy really (just the same words of Natalie Portman about Anakin), he wanted to save his family. So, we can't blame him for that. And some darkworkers have no election, they HAVE to do it.

I prefer alternative jobs instead of joining the Dark Side, at least now, tomorrow never knows. But I don't think I will ever surrender to the temptation... I know by many synchs I have to follow the music path... so I do. But it so slow...

Elvis was never rejected... The Beatles were rejected 200 times and signed out a contract that gave them virtually no income. The fewer possible for a contract. They became rich after the split. But all their life they were proud of their adventure and what they did. John Lennon last words were "I'm John Lennon... from The Beatles".

That's it.
