Random Acts
I recently fell in love with the music of an artist oblivious to the fact that she was already in my life. What connected the dots was a random act of kindness (and a click) that lead to this unexpected surprise. Now, I don’t think we should entertain these random acts because we believe we’ll be rewarded. It is my view however, that when the Universe sees us dispensing kindness it conspires to extend it in many directions…but only if the Universe is sure that was never our expectation.
Queen For A Day
There’s nothing not to like about Billie Eilish’s album. It’s tasty. Sonically pleasing. Interesting. But while recognition is deserved for breaking records, high sales, sold our shows and crying blood I can’t help but wonder if an artist’s accomplishments are more outstanding — judged more favorably just because the artist is…young.
What Is An Artist?
Once upon a time we depended on music to communicate to lawmakers. Music was a powerful and emotional tool. And it was Art. Musicians were Artists! It was their job. Luckily Bob and Joni didn’t have to worry about losing Facebook friends or attracting trolls.
