If he chooses his family over Boston, which would mean staying in Phoenix, that would be admirable. However, if he does this, it would put a permanent stamp on his career as being a loser. If he chooses New York, there is really nothing to say, except that he would be looked at as caring about nothing but money. Let's face it: His wife's singing career isn't going to magically happen for her because she's in New York. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. You know how many brilliant singers there are in New York who haven't hit it big? There are plenty of places to sing in every city. If you've got skill, you've got skill. Location means little difference, because the people will come to you. I once flew across the world to see a band from Iceland.
