As an African observing the European political landscape I find it increasingly bizarre. Your politicians seem hell bent on destroying your culture with mass immigration policies and the general populace just seems to take it lying down. At least in America people seem to have more rights.
I'm in the same boat as you. Playing guitar was all I did in school. These days my guitar hangs on the wall like an ornament. I think I play it maybe once a year. Just to busy with live and no time.
Europe was great before she had any colonies. Living in Africa my entire life I can see that Europe and the countries where her children settled(USA, Canada, Aus, Nz) are the light of the world.
