After I retired I no longer had to dance to other people's music--employers, producers, publishers, art gallery owners. My real, definitive self, devoid of all social personae, emerged and established itself. As a result when many people from the past come to me they are shocked to be confronted by a complete stranger.

I am very happy with my current situation, though, and that I saw, early on, that public relations is a disgusting affair when one is dealing with atchays anyway.
