I don't think there's anything more important than making peace before it's too late. And it almost always falls to the child to try to move toward the parent.
Often something comes in from which you can see that the person is good, the book may not be perfect as it is, and the person doesn't want to do a re-write. That's something we do almost nothing of.
That's probably half the reason I wanted to be in a band - I wanted to see the world.
