Do you know what Charles Ives, one of the great celebrated American composers of the twentieth century, did in his spare time? He overhauled the insurance industry and laid the foundation for the modern practice of estate planning. Is that cool? Or is that whack? It’s cool in retrospect, but what would the Pitchfork of 1918 have thought? I doubt there’s much indie-cred for a songwriter who works at State Farm.
