Ok so I'm taking a break to eat my delicious egg sandwich I just whipped up (fluffy scrambled with shredded white cheddar and a perfectly ripe avocado sliced thinly, that I stole from the fridge- oops) and have decided to write to you cadets about whats up.
Here is my intro, I found it in my journal from a few weeks back. Brilliant words Brenna, really great.
Enjoy!
Its been 4 weeks of concerts almost every night, observing
crowds and meeting some of the coolest people I have every encountered. My
beliefs as music as a way to send a message have stayed true, however my belief
of music as a bridge has not yet reached the minds and hearts of all
Capetonians. In society art is somehow considered a less legitimate,
responsible and productive career and lifestyle choice as compared to banking,
law and politics. I am not stating this fact because I believe it, but because
it is the belief of many motivational, wealthy people in this world and is a
part of the world I was raised in. I do not understand why this is a thing
because I would love to see one lawyer change the mindsets and inspire people
to change the world as effectively as the lyrics of Bob Dylan, images by Andy
Warhol and stories of J.D. Salinger. Art is a gateway to sending a message
and a path much more approachable and understandable to many minds than anything
written on a document for old men to sign in a government office.
