Historic? That's your life. Memorable? That's what the powers that be IN your life and every other person's life WANT YOUR EXISTENCE TO BECOME in the books you'll be a part of...
Everyone's mind is like one of those books. We write our own. Every single day, is a chance to write the best chapter thus far. It's like your favorite artist in an interview; they really love what they're currently doing. But sometimes, people are so stuck on what they've one in the past. They don't realize that art is a constant, a constant change.
Fans get upset and say that this or that band or group ISN'T what they used to be. Well, that's exactly what they should be doing. If Led Zeppelin would've written 11 more songs, JUST like "Stairway to Heaven"...they wouldn't BE who they are today - in the fans/public eye, media, or even THEIR OWN personal history books.
That's why I'm such a huge supporter of musical journaling. It's art. And when it comes down to it. Everything we do, is art. It's our expression of what our hearts, minds, and other senses are taking in. And the reaction is different each time.
Here is my favorite all time quote about CHANGE:
"No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man."
— Heraclitus
Now, after reading for about 50 minutes on Philosophy, I've come to the conclusion that this man was very contradictory in his writings. Not that he was wrong, but that, he was even deeper, a thinker than me. Crazy right? HAHA!
So all in all, music is at constant odds and peace with the world. The world can be perceived as society or the media or angry parents, not liking what certain artists are saying. From Elvis' hip movement, to Kiss' stage antics, to Marilyn Manson's invention of his alter ego. The secret in this life is, how are we going to find peace. Some people's souls turn and gravitate to music and any for of the arts. (theater, dance, show tunes, acting, performing, DJing, etc.). Finding our personal bliss and calmness in this life is all we can do. Not that there are limited options or ways of going about doing that, but that - it's a gentle and delicate art. So, finding our peace can be an art-form too.
PLEASE DO EXACTLY WHAT YOUR HEART TELLS YOU TO DO. BE WHO YOU CHOOSE TO BE. CHANGE YOURSELF TO BECOME THE BEST YOU, THAT YOU CAN CREATE. AGE DOESN'T MATTER IN THIS VENTURE. :o)
