Artists Everywhere

Fame is a funny thing in that it often doesn't come to those with the most talent. This is not to say that those who have it don't deserve it; no, with very few exceptions it is something that has been earned, cultivated and developed. Although I suppose each of us can think of people whom we feel are undeserving of their accolades, the vast majority of household names are just that for a reason.

Unfortunately for many others, at some point the public- not individuals, mind you, but that vast collective entity- feels that one's lack of success equates with one's lack of ability. But nothing is further from the truth! There are thousands of anonymous individuals who are supremely talented and go about their business unrecognized by virtually everyone. It may simply be that they prefer to live away from the spotlight, or they may have other aspects of their lives that take precedence. In many cases, however, it is simply that they haven't achieved notoriety because they haven't been in the right place at the right time, as the saying goes.

The proliferation of the media has not helped with this, either, although this has been through no fault of its own. The feats and exploits of today's artists, sports figures and writers are instantly transmitted to millions of people, and if one is not part of the wave then he has fallen behind. Those who are fortunate enough to be in the public eye are carried along by the PR machine, and those who are not- despite their abilities- are more often than not forgotten.

There is an upside to this, however: you have the chance to enjoy extremely talented people doing what they do best, almost every day and in almost every place. Your local artists, writers and athletes can bring joy to you in the same way Van Gogh, Beethoven and Shakespeare bring joy to the entire world, except that you also have the opportunity of experiencing something unique to your community. Seek out your local community's talent: you won't be disappointed!

The Value of "Live"

Nowadays, at the push of a button you can have hundreds of television channels from which to choose, or you can go to a movie theater at which ten or twenty different movies are all playing at once. Television was not always such a ubiquitous presence, however, and there are still some who can remember when live radio broadcasts were the cutting edge in entertainment and movie theaters had but a single screen. Of course, prior to that, the only way to see a show was to view it "Live".

The word "Live" is something of a misnomer, of course, since everything is done- at the time- live. It's the connotation that a performance is not edited or polished in any way that makes it "Live". Today, we are now so used to listening to our favorite songs, or watching our favorite TV shows or movies, polished to perfection, over and over. This single version of an event becomes the "legitimate" one, and a "Live" performance, at least on one level, strikes some as decidedly odd: perhaps a relic of an older age.

Yet, if you have had the good fortune to attend a live performance- whether it be a rock band, symphony concert, opera or community theater- you will surely notice an excitement that is conspicuously absent in the recorded versions of our entertainment choices. There is a palpable energy you feel, perhaps because you are present at the moment of artistic creation. Maybe it's the fact that you simply don't know what will come next, and that unpredictability keeps you enthralled. Or, maybe it's because you, simply by the virtue of being present, are actually part of the experience!

Having ten thousand songs or five hundred movies at your immediate disposal is a wonderful thing- something the people of two or three generations ago would find astounding- but it also cheapens the value of each song or movie. After all, if something is so easy to obtain, then, regardless of its intrinsic worth, it has far less value to us simply because of its ubiquity. "Live" performance, though, is unlike anything else, and helps lend a newfound respect for art and artists. It is something we should seek out, support, foster and nurture.
