Connecting Artists to the Community with Education, Therapy and Fun

I'm uploading images from lightroom into photoshop to edit, which takes a while, so I've had time to channel surf on tv. Bopping around, I ran across this techno-dance-trance music thats great to compute to and keep your attention up and running.

So, half paying attn, I look up and see the biggest concert I've personally laid eyes on. Impressive, so I wait to see who is in the middle of all the hubub. Believe it or not, he is what America would consider a dork-  :) (LOL, I mean this in a respectful way, wait and see.)

So, here is this guy most of us wouldn't give a second glance to at a gas station, in what looks like a WalMart sale-shirt, hopping up and down, looks like he can't even dance, yet he's flying his freak flag in the middle of 250,000 people and they're all dancing to HIS music. Who is the guy? Fatboy Slim-- and the concert is the Big Beach Boutique II. I'd never heard of him, but apparently, he's huge across the big pond.

But I sat here in between uploads, mesmerized by the music and the happiness this quarter of a million or so people shared... it struck me why it looked so weird~  they all looked authentic and authentically happy. (Altho they were privy to more chemicals than all the companies on Industrial Avenue combined, it was something to see this unvain fellow up there shaking his wares and making all these people dance.)
 
Feeling good about yourself no matter what package you come in, this is what British fame looks like. Unlike an American shin-dig, there were no big fake teeth or other big fake things ;) and this guy hadn't had any face lifts or collagen injections. So completely diggable, I am proud to see a place like this, and a person like him- existing.

While I've had time to sit here, do computer work and look around, its sad what media has convinced us just to make money off us: that we need to work until we have no life left.... to afford teeth whitening, plastic surgery, diets and exercise fads to look like these fake airbrushed folks on tv. It was so refreshing to see these beautiful people hanging around an ordinary Joe with an extraordinary beat. Nice model for awh.
