On my way to class in the early '90s, I passed by three women singing and playing guitar outside the music building. As the trio sang Tracy Chapman's "Talkin' Bout A Revolution," I thought, "A college campus is exactly the setting where you'd expect people to sing about how the deck of life is stacked against some people for no good reason."
I have no idea who the singers were or if they were even university students. While thinking about that song today, though, I wondered if any of them turned their passion for music into professional careers.
Regardless of whether they did, I hope their idealism remains intact.
