America is a sports obsessed culture.  It's just facts.  Tens of millions won't be sitting down on Feb 12 to watch the National Symphony Orchestra on TV.  Sports give some social status and they are a common language and are easy to talk about for many people.  So I don't think it's that people can't conceive of different things, but I do think sports and talking about and asking about it tends to drown out most other things and people just default to it and yes, it can get tiresome if it's not your thing.  Both of my kids have been asked countless times by well meaning adults just trying to make conversation...what sport do you play?  No one has ever asked them what instrument they play.[/quote]

It helps to be able to play both sports and music.[b]  Sports help make kids' lives easier in HS and music help make their lives easier in college and in life.  [/b]I always say to my kids:  Play guitar very well and you will have an amazing college experience with the opposite sex, as I did.[/quote]

So bizarre.[/quote]

Yeah, what an absolutely weird thing to say.[/quote]

How so?[/quote]
