This question relates to our love for ARR and his music. I have always been fascinated in the relationships between human variables and music/art preference.
We all love ARR and his music for various reasons. There are many individual differences as to why each of us loves his music so much. But, I'm more interested in the common factors. We are part of a fan group, posting messages, having ARR and his music as a big part of our lives. This same question can be asked to any fan group of any artist, but why is it that ARR's music touches us and impresses us AS A GROUP and does not have the same effect on others? Again, I'm more interested in COMMON human factors that bind us as a group that lead us to be such passionate and devoted ARR fans. Because ARR's music is so spiritually informed, are we as a group of devoted ARR fans more sensitive to and attuned to spirituality in general? Because ARR's music is so diverse and encompasses worldly influences, are we as a group more worldly and tolerant in our approach to human differences? Because ARR's music is often so thick and layered and well textured, are we as a group for some reason better able to process this complexity in more meaningful ways than others who prefer simpler music by virtue of our education, upbringing, or other factors? Are we as a group more compassionate towards others since ARR is all about giving and helping? Again, these are just thoughts. I'm interested in generating a aningful discussion about what factors bind us as a group of passionate ARR fans. Thanks for reading and hope to hear your responses.
