Jason Gould doesn't have the work ethic through desire or necessity that most average people have. And there's nothing wrong with that if it's not hurting anyone. He doesn't have the work ethic because he doesn't have to. He's been blessed to have the financial security that others don't have.Several people on this thread have said he he didn't use his talent especially since it's obvious he has a good voice. But if you've ever listened to an interview with his mother, Barbra has often said that she's lazy. Of course, she has a vast body of work, in which she said she gave it her all. But when she's not working, she admits that she's lazy and doesn't want to work. Barbra probably sees these same 'lazy' qualities in Jason. When Barbra was young, she had the drive and the need to work. Jason is of a different generation, and grew up with the luxuries and security Barbra didn't have. Jason has the benefit of saying, "I'm shy," "I couldn't measure up to my mother's talent," etc. The average person doesn't have the benefit of sitting back, working on occasion and then kicking back when it doesn't suit us.Having said all that, he seems to have squandered his talent. Because he could. No wife, no husband, no kids, not much responsibility to do all that much. That's a great life, I'd say.by Anonymousreply 35January 29, 2024 2:04 AM, Jason Gould started making music about ten years ago. He said he was always musical, but never really came out as a musician in fear of being 'judged' in comparison to his mother's talents. In 2012, he released an EP, and in 2017 he released a full album., Jason lives off a generous trust fund, he doesn’t need anything from his mother’s estate, though he’ll get plenty. R7, there are pills for depression. And Jason has enough dough for therapy the rest of his life. Perhaps his problems stem from never having a regular job. Ha ha, R44. Streisand was cheating on Gould long before Omar Sharif..
