10+10 Fishermen Against the Wind. 13) James "Rebel" O'Leary James Rebel O'Leary - Rebel Star
The important thing is to believe in it.
No one believed in himself and his music more than James "Rebel" O'Leary: for over thirty years, he has taken his family around to all the parties, fairs, events, and country gatherings in Pennsylvania and beyond, wherever his flamboyant red van adorned with the Confederate flag and his name engraved could reach, and wherever there was a plug to connect the amplifiers.
Before long, he became known to everyone; James and his family played everywhere, and James would pose for pictures with every country music star he could get next to (in many cases, even just with their cardboard cutouts...).
They were probably the worst country band that ever existed, but James believed in his band (the Rebellets), in his family, in his music, and in God.
At best, they laughed at him; at worst, they denigrated him. They called him a despot, saying he was ruining the lives of his children and grandchildren, forced to follow his crazy dream (just look at their faces in the video, priceless!).
I don't know if it's true; however, his granddaughter once said in an interview: "leave my grandfather alone, if you've never lived like him, then you can't know what it means to have fun."
