bump

bump for Makenshi and co

hahaha, where do I sign up for most boring video of the day?

were do you sign up ? Nowhere I do think if you're not interested by others creativity and sharing process, if you're not interested in the next generation condition of living, in one word, if the sole fact to be you and to breath seems sufficient to you. happy you should be touched by Mr Gabriel's music :-]

sorry for that over reactivity in the morning Zen. I should have learnt since long that maybe we're not here to share the same "part" of the man. Maybe are you just interested in the musician maker, while I'm as well fascinated by the man of ideas and should i say of "ideal" he is. all the posts I can launch, are related to what he did express as being his values and motor in life through the film: The world according to Peter Gabriel. He is a wonderful artist, but his music is in my mind no more than the "immerged part of much more". he is an artist with a clear vision of who he wishes to be, what he wants, and whow to turn this "vision" into reality.and in my point of view that's something rare, only shared by few artists. and to be precise, listening to him since I was twelve, I'm astonished to see that his music is still strongly felt by me 35 years later, and that as the same time I evolved in what shall be my own values, totaly alongside his own ones. That's to me, something even more precious and rare. Then, zen, :-] if you're for your own part only interested in the musician here, at least be able to admit than others could be touched by other aspect of that "cameleon man". Let a space be for it, without over reacting, it's your total own right to be only interested by the musician maker and performer so huge he is. just skip those posts, they are not meant to be read by you, but by some others here. :-]

I will just add, let space for the feeling like "amplificating" the man's values. No more than ideas and facts He, in first place is fond of.
