Its not so easy, this aging thing. One of the big moments of realization for me happened around thirty. I was in the music biz then, and was performing in clubs as a singer-bass-player- writer in NYC, working towards signing that elusive record deal (yes, records- CD’s hadn’t happened yet). By the age of thirty-ish, if you aren’t signed, it more than likely won’t happen- and now that I understand the cold hard facts of business and investment- I understand why. A musical performer is seen as a product that requires a large investment over a period of years- and if they can’t get their investment out plus a healthy return, they aren’t interested. So the younger their product is, the more years to reap the returns.

Yup- it’s all about aging! So- what will aging look like for me? And in what environment? A force much bigger than myself took over my life in 1997- and so began the “magnificent obsession” to get RainbowVision out of the ground and open. Looking back, in light of the current economic crisis, it’s a good thing we were able to do so when we did. Today, it simply wouldn’t be possible.

Because the world has changed- economically, and generationally. This will be the largest generation of people over 50 in the history of the world. The LGBTQI &A population has lived with the acquisition of more civil rights than ever before. We are ready to add the option of RainbowVision as Community for the Seocnd Fifty Years. We are definitely ahead of the curve.
