I wanted to be in the band!
Did anyone see "The Music Man?" Remember how Harold Hill came into town and had to find a way to get people to want to buy band instruments for their kids? Only he had no intention on delivering them? He played on their deepest fears, told them a boy's band could save them from those fears, instilled in them all a deep desire for one, instilled in the children a deep desire to be part of the band--all the while having no intention whatsoever of actually teaching them to play or even delivering the instruments? And remember Marion the Librarian? Who was waiting for a man all her life to "sit with me" only to have Harold Hill manipulate her too? Only thing is, she saw through him. Unrealistically, when she saw through him he fell in love with her for real and gave up his using ways. As he said, though he intented on leaving her high and dry, "This time I got my foot caught in the door." Weren't we all wishing he was going to get his foot caught in the door trying to leave us, too? That it would be different? I used to watch him going out with his brother and their friends and family, sitting in their yard and drinking and talking, etc etc. I so wanted to be part of that. I would have done anything! I didn't even like being around them but . . . I so wanted to be in the band!
