Adams Milarepa foundation produced the first Tibetan Freedom Concert in San Francisco, which was attended by 100,000 people, making it the biggest benefit concert on U.S. soil since Live Aid.
Responsible in many ways for turning me onto the Dalai lama‘s wisdom, in Adams own words: ”Everything we do affects other people. One doesn’t have to be doing something that has some huge sweeping change on a lot of people at one time. Every way that we interact with other people, even if it’s like, you’re at the store and buying something, and it’s the way that you interact with the clerk at the store. EVERY action that we take has some motivation of either being selfish or altruistic. All that adds up.”
More than platitudes about great music, and the sound track to my youth, I am truly saddened and moved by his passing, sometimes when poignant people pass it’s a true reminder of our own mortality. The fact that they have been intertwined with key memories of self, from my early teens till today, some how aligns my thoughts on my own life achievements, and thats the mortality wake up call.
RIP MCA

Posted in Art, Video Clips with tags celebrities, media platforms, Style on April 29, 2012 by mat bickleySome one needs to come up with a ‘word’ or turn of phrase, that explains the action of ‘like’ing a clip on youtube (there are other social media platforms), where despite the fact you find the music less than palatable, and the participants pretentious beyond belief. The imagery some how captivates you enough, that despite your better senses, you hold on till the end, to catch a glimpse of that righteous chic with the cool hair and sweet sunglasses….. I haven’t found the solution, but my working tittle is “M.I.A. ism“
