Informal response TAL Music Lessons

People look through mediums in which to portray their dreams.  "Music Lessons" by This American Life touches on this topic through the perspective of two similarly opposite people.  Formerly touring the world in his booming music career, Durrell had the desire to leave his mark and share the joy he found in music to the teens of the south side of Chicago.  It has been said that these teens are "an imprecise medium in which to apply your art", which may be an understatement.  On the other side of the spectrum, David Sedaris is not one to appreciate music.  Being forced to play guitar to fulfill the dreams of his father, his story shows us the other side of things.  Durrell wanting kids to learn to appreciate music while David loathes the thought of playing music.  Through the first hand stories we get insight to the thoughts of both parties in the debate.
