This is a wonderful post about integrity and authenticity. It's easy to become distracted by all of the things you're told you have to do (especially in the blogging world) but it's absolutely important to remember why you started and what feels right. If the first answer is "to make money," then that's a problem! Pam, I just found your blog through Hiro Boga and I’m so glad I did! This is a wonderful post about integrity and authenticity.

Returning to the origin, which is a big part of originality. I think that is part of what Robert Plant is talking about. A year ago I started an organization called Sage's Play to explore what it means to age in a creative way, with wellbeing and connected to spirit. As an artist whether famous or little broadcast, it is essential to connect in a real way, and to step out of the hypnosis of cultural conditioning in regard to aging. And we are all artists.

LOVE THIS: "Don’t try to squash the next generation for fear they will eclipse you. Instead, find them, learn from them, and use your reach to get them more exposure." Especially with today's breed of under 25 year olds. So many of the boundaries that kept older generations apart really don't exist with them. As long as the music is good, presumptions of race, etc aren't as pervasive as they were when I was younger. I totally agree we can learn from the younger generation and in doing so, we're modeling that when they're elders they'll get to listen to the up and comings. Great post Pam!

I'm a long-time fan of Robert Plant (including his last with Alison Krauss). My take on things is that we (I) get younger as I get older - recover the sound-track of the Band of Joy and pull those threads into the present. I just finished painting a self-portrait of myself when I was 6: gap toothed, BIG smile, joy personified. Was from a photo taken a few days before a horrible accident my changed life forever. It was amazing to paint myself then, now - my own version of a band of joy. xxAnne PS - can't wait to hear RP's new album. Great post Pam.
