Is there anything wrong with being hopeful, optimistic, idealistic? If you toil in the fields of creativity, I say, "NO!" Nothing wrong at all. It may actually be essential to believe that the next rehearsal, the next poster, the next song, the next show, the next record, the next step could be a new beginning, a new moment, a new future. As Joe Strummer once said, "The future is unwritten."
