[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's unfortunate his uncle won't talk to him

Don't try to talk him out of it.

Be real with him his job right now is to finish high school and do well after that's up to him.
Maybe incentives  such as bringing grades up you'll pay for x amount of lessons a new guitar.

encourage him on a path of successful musician.

Apparently his uncle has talked to him and is also paying for his music lessons.

OP and his uptight wife are willing to mooch off the uncle—including living in a house he owns—but freak out that their son wants to follow in his uncle’s footsteps.[/quote]

Since the uncle has inserted himself and exerted his influence, he should also take the responsibility to financially support OP's son as he takes on this arduous road. Put his money where his mouth is. I am sure that will engender a more balanced talk.[/quote]

You’re just gleeful while you mock this kid. Disgusting.[/quote]

I am not mocking the kid, quite to the contrary, he deserves to have a factual, balanced and broad discussion on his future. The corporate cogs and Tesla owners here, who don't themselves make a living out of Music, who have no skin in the game on this decision, are projecting their own fantasies of what could have been if they only pursued music at 15.

High School is this kid's job right now, he should not risk ending up illiterate and woefully underemployed on the chance he makes it as a Rock star. [/quote]

And you have no skin in the game either,  but you sure as hell act like you do. [/quote]
