From service of power/fame/money/ego to service of life/joy/community

My friend Luke emailed me. Luke's ace, and a singer. You might remember his old band, Nizlopi, who got Christmas number 1 a few years ago with the JCB song.

Reading your singing blog: new paradigm idea.

Yes i really feel this is clear that the new edge of art in an age of increasing crisis must be service to community, life, love, truth, healing. That service to Money and Fame/power/ego is on it's way out. So to really lead as a singer really serving is the key. But artistic skill and depth serve hugely along with bringing music back to the folk.
