"Our enormously productive economy demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction, in consumption.… We need things consumed, burned up, replaced and discarded at an ever-accelerating rate."
Our last show with Talbot was rough, but at least we got some cool photos.
Big thanks to the photographer!
An Ode to Love
What do you believe in?
I was asked that question recently in an interview. Without much hesitation I answered "love!" For the simple reason that ultimately, everything truly good that we do stems from Love. If you don't believe in Love, then what can you even believe in? When you believe in Love, you believe in the best of Humanity. Even in times when we see and experience so much more of whatever the opposite of Love is. Maybe fear?
But the hesitation crept up a bit later when I started to question the soundness of that statement from a romantic perspective. I have told "I love you" to two women in my lifetime and both relationships were over a few weeks later.
Why would I believe in something that I've never actually experienced? That, for all I know, may not even exist. Or of which I maybe have a totally naive understanding of. Why would anyone ever want to believe in a mirage?
But then it occurred to me...
You do it because that's exactly what believing means. You don't believe in something because you know it to be true. You know it to be true because you believe in it.
Faith doesn't need proof. It doesn't ask for evidence. It just is.
Just like Love.
If Music be the food of Love, play on!
