“A little reflection soon shows how inconceivable it is really to love others (not merely to need them), if one cannot love oneself as one really is. And how could a person do that if, from the very beginning, he has had no chance to experience his true feelings and to learn to know himself? For the majority of sensitive people, the true self remains deeply and thoroughly hidden. But how can you love something you do not know, something that has never been loved? So it is that many a gifted person lives without any notion of his or her true self.”

- Alice Miller, The Drama of The Gifted Child

On Being A Fan

Sun, 11 Apr 2010 23:46:00 -0400

There is something so very special about the mentality of the devoted fan. At a certain point the context of the subject (music, art, film, etc.) is subsumed within the personality of that fan and the two become inseparable. I’m not sure everyone gets that sort of connection, but I wish they all did.

—Erik

Erik is my new email friend. He recently contacted me about a band website I made back in 2001. I totally agree with him re:being a fan.

Being a fan in the above sense is not a negative thing at all—but a mutual relationship, a collaboration. Personal connections like this are also always so interesting and hard to quantify. Like mishearing lyrics of your favorite song for some period of time before you finally take advantage of Google and read the “correct” version online. What you thought you heard will always be more special.

“Fire without smoke, the warmth of a seat which has just been left, reflection from a mirror or glass, watered silk, iridescent, the people who go through [subway gates] at the very last moment, velvet trousers, their whistling sound” - Duchamp

I’ve been thinking a lot about the hierarchy of communication—especially with all this online stuff.

What means more: a public sweet comment on some social networking site or a post on a semi-secret blog you share with your lover? An long email or a short phone call? I don’t know.
