[I tried
this thread on ILM, but it died quickly, or just didn't catch -- (despite the revelation of the Tapeworms!) Maybe it's more of an ILE thing?]
For the longest time, my grandfather, Greek in origin, always was hinting that he had a masterplan for music that would resonate with the entire world. He always had me very curious for the longest time. One day, he spilled the beans...
he wanted to commission a song that was a mother's song for her sons in war, a prayer for them. He vowed that this song would be internationally known, and "all the mothers in the world would buy it". Would this work today? If so, how?
My grandfather was a bit odd.. he had a strange contempt for women (he never really treated my grandmother and mother very well at all), but somehow was very strongly attached to his mother -- even though she was very horrible to him most of his life.
(the backstory on my grandfather is here just to provide a little bit of interesting background and context. Also, I'm more interested in ideas from one's family members who aren't in the industry, so to speak... haha, cuz we all know they frequent this place. :)

I liked the post that Poppy had on the ILM thread and I was going to put it on the Laugh Out Loud thread but I had already put something on there today and I didn't want to hog it.

not quite family, but a girl in my dorm's working on a pop/country song called "god wouldn't wear a yankees cap."
