Video Killed the Radio Star

I enjoy music and so read a few online forums dedicated to different kinds of sounds.

One thing that always puzzles me and frightens me at the same time is the absolute worship and attachment we have to artists.

It seems to me that by exalting a fellow human being who happens to play an instrument better you or me only diminishes both the artist and the fan.

Maybe, by exploring our common humanity, the music or any other art would actually be more meaningful to us and speak to us on a deeper level.

Today's listening pleasure: Yes.
