well, that's the past... but i feel this vibe you're talking about any
time i have the good fortune to visit (or even pass through) that
magical city. i guess it's subjective.
Certainly it's subjective, but I haven't found anyone who attended both
years who doesn't know exactly what I am referring to.
If you had, you would. I've lived in the area all of my life and I love the
city as well, but it went beyond that. If you weren't there, you would have
a hard time understanding. It's why Carl and Hannah were watching it with
tears streaming. It was palpable.
Can I get a witness?
as are those
who you may not consider "in the know" who stumble across that spot.
don't take it for granted (again). this is still a VERY special weekend
for music (in case you DIDN'T know). want proof? f*ckin open your eyes
and ears and FEEL the world around you!
Just to clarify, I was quoting the language of the article which was being
discussed when I mentioned those "in the know" and those not. Having been a
music geek for most of my 45+ years, I am well aware of what the weekend
is, thank you. I was merely following and adding to the discussion and not
trying to be negative. Looking at the changes which have occurred and
weighing the resultant differences is not, imo, taking it for granted or
succumbing to media driven politics. I would furthermore suggest that to
ignore what I have experienced, seen and FELT already would be to don a set
of blinders in itself.
i'm gonna do my best to feel it from milwaukee. keep in mind that
negative attitudes and condescension will only bring about negative
changes... and that is a FACT.
True enough. Ignoring reality and shutting down constructive discussion can
also be seen as a negative attitude and that is also a fact.
Because I don't see what you see does not mean my eyes are closed or I
cannot "feel" accurately. Be careful of what you construe as condescension.
peace.
