Understandable sour grapes for more than one reason. Some years ago, a
study that rated longevity to occupation showed conductors as one of the
healthiest and longest lived and the musicians they direct as one of the
shortest lived. Wherever I read it, it was speculated that control over
one's life and/or the details of one's work might be a significant
factor in health and longevity. If I recall, US Senator and judge were 2
other occupations with well above average life spans.

You can see the car tried to brake before hitting the dead dog...
That's a lawyer joke here in the land of unbridled litigation.
