Beautiful answer. I would personally prefer an audience response somewhere
between meditative (which I observed at Fitzgerald's) and a conga line
(which I'm having trouble even imagining). I guess the hardest part about
being real at a concert venue full of strange people
is how to be oneself if everyone is pretty much acting in the exact same
manner without drawing undesired attention or looking like a wannabe
nonconformist. Supposedly a truly authentic person wouldn't even care about
such questions. Maybe so, but I do.
Reaching for reality,
