IT WOULD BE HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT A WRITER OR A MUSICIAN WOULD RECEIVE A SALARY IMMEDIATELY UNLESS THEY WORKED FOR A NEWSPAPER OR THEY PLAYED IN A BAR BAND AND EVEN THOSE LOW PAYING JOBS REQUIRED EDUCATION.
I BELIEVED WHAT I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE REQUIREMENT OF A DAY JOB TO SUPPORT MYSELF WHILE I DEVELOPED MY ABILITY TO WRITE AND LATER TO COMPOSE ORIGINAL MUSIC AND PERFORM IT LIVE.
THERE WERE AN UNBELIEVABLE NUMBER OF INSTANCES WHERE MY PLANS WERE DERAILED. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT MY BEST CHANCE TO BECOME A WRITER AND WHICH WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY ENTERED ME INTO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY WAS IN 1964 WHEN I WAS GOING TO USE MY TRUST FUND TO BUY A LITTLE HOTEL WHICH HAD A DANCE HALL WITHIN IT.
IT WAS LONG AGO THAT I HAD MY LAST CHANCE TO WORK AT MY ART WRITING AND MUSIC. IN 1992 I WAS IN LONDON ENGLAND WHERE I MADE A FAVORABLE IMPRESSION AND I JUST COULD NOT LEAVE TO GO BACK THERE TO ADVANCE MY MUSICAL CAREER MY PAID OFF EX-WIFE WOULD NOT STOP POLICING ME.
I HAD ABOUT $2 MILLION OF INHERITED MONEY STOLEN FROM ME BY MY SIBLING FAMILY AND MY WIFE. THAT WOULD HAVE SUPPORTED ME TO DO MY MUSICAL PROJECTS VERY NICELY.
THERE WAS THIS HAMPERING AND HARASSMENT AS WELL.
I WAS CRUSHED.
FROM "LINDON COLLARD TOTAL RECALL"
PERIODICALLY I REALIZE HOW ABSURD THE CONTROLLING FREAKS ARE.
MY MUSICAL ENTERPRISE HAD
LITTLE TO DO WITH ANYONE
ON VANCOUVER ISLAND AS
IT HAPPENED IN MY STUDIOS
HERE OR IN VANCOUVER.
ONCE I GOT FARTHER AFIELD,
BUT I WAS A CITY OF VANCOUVER
MUSICIAN.
WHY WOULD THE COLLARD FAMILY
WOMEN BE INVOLVED WITH THAT
AT ALL?
THEY WANTED TO STAMP IT OUT.
THE POLICE HERE AT OTTER POINT,
THE SOOKE RCMP, WERE VERY
INTERESTED IN DISCREDITING
ME AND IN ( FROM FOI ) INTERFERING
WITH MY MUSIC CAREER. WHY?
THE VANCOUVER POLICE, IN THE
CITY WHERE I SOUGHT MY CAREER
DID NOT INTERFERE WITH ME EXCEPT
FOR FRITZ VERHOOVEN'S POLICE
FRIEND FROM THE DOG SQUAD. ( I FORGOT. )
WHY WOULD POLICE BE INVOLVED
WITH NOT A PARTYING BUT AN
ORIGINAL COMPOSING AND
LYRICIZING MUSICIAN?
