Re: A different bomb



From: "L. Bird" <pkeets@hotmail.com>
"This is sort of what I was getting at last week, that Pete never gets to 
experience The Who.  He's always busy doing the show, so he can't
participate in the spiritual joining that he sees in the fans when they
listen to the music.  Everybody else gets to participate in the Lifehouse 
experience, but Pete is stuck outside."

Yeah, I stayed out of that one when the discussion centered on the 
experience of the sound.  It must be very hard for the preacher to feel what 
the congregation feels.  If Pete is aching to connect, he should get over 
it.  He has connected, he will connect further.  Complete empathy is not 
possible in any situation.  He could no more feel what I feel at a show than 
I could feel what he feels or that I could feel the same as any individual 
at a show feels.

If Pete wants to get over this disconnect he should invite me over to his 
place for tea.  I would be happy to discuss it :-)

The cool thing about Roger and John is that they understand their role.  
They perform and really only need to connect with themselves to do that 
well.  They don't need to understand society or an audience.  I mean John 
and Roger connect with their respective instruments and the material, the 
audience follows along naturally.
