Today's "Be A Hero" lesson is "Think Before You Speak."
Sometimes we say things before we think about how our words will effect those around us. Today I ask you to try, as an experiment, to think before you speak. Ask yourself, "Will my response make a difference?" If not, don't give one. Ask yourself, "Will my opinion hurt someone's feelings *and* not contribute to improving them or the over-all task at hand in any way?" If so, don't give it.
On that note, I had wonderful night of musical inspiration last night. I saw one of my idols, Elvis Costello, live in concert, as I have many times before. Yet, this time, I was right up front, and, I swear it felt like we had a "moment." In keeping with our experiment, "Be A Hero" and do NOT write me about how I'm being silly and it never happened. Ask yourself, "What good would come from that?" NONE.
Sometimes being a "hero" isn't about what you say...
It's about what you don't. Here's my story:
Elvis Costello's 1st televised live performance!
This so called "Pop Superhero" bows to today to "Pop Legend": ELVIS COSTELLO. EC is one of my greatest inspirations, and I have followed his career for decades. Yes, I'm all in, buying every CD he releases, live DVDs, video collections, TV appearances and reading interviews in magazines. The fact is that my life changed the first time I heard "My Aim Is True."
Until a boyfriend introduced me to the musical world that Elvis Costello created, I was stuck in censored, Payola poisoned, pre-programmed, Wonder Bread bland, radio land. I was so sheltered that I had no idea any other world existed. (Ah... to be so much more naive again... and so much less bitter.) Then Tom, that is the "Ex" that I owe this priceless debt to, placed the precious vinyl that is "My Aim Is True" on his turntable... HEAVEN.
I must have played that record 100 times, singing and memorizing every word... then the vocal phrasing... then analyzing the deeper meanings behind the lyrics (for which EC never leaves us wanting). Finally... Music that made me think! Elvis' vocal delivery and ability to cut right to the heart of his subjects always leave you feeling as if he's speaking directly to you. As if, somehow, the man got in your head without permission. Intimate and invasive, yet always welcome, Elvis Costello's music became my therapy of choice.
I had the pleasure of seeing Elvis Costello & The Imposters live in concert last night, in Mansfield, MA, and the privileged of sitting in the first few rows. (Being of modest means growing up, I swore I'd never pay hundreds of dollars to see *anybody* perform. But Elvis continues to inspire me to change my way of thinking still... The show was worth every penny!) EC was opening for The Police, another band of much inspiration, but that's another story...
At first glance, I was sad to see so many empty seats for a Hall of Fame musician humbling himself as an opening act. Then I remembered that perspective is everything in this world, and decided to focus on the positive side of this: there wasn't a single person standing between me and my idol! I was mesmerized, hearing his voice trail off in my trance like state. My tunnel vision focused in on every facial tick and vocal inflection. I was 18 again and hearing "Allison" for the first time... AH BLISS. Then, I swear to God, I had a moment with Elvis Costello.
Every life-long fan should be entitled to one "moment" with their idol. We've invested a lifetime of intently hanging on their every word in interviews, patiently awaiting their new CDs, and spending our hard earned money proudly in support of their vision. Each of us deserves our "moment" where it feels like you finally connect with the object of your adoration one on one. Last night was mine.
Elvis started into "Allison" and the crowd screamed, male and female alike. (I've always admired the fact that EC's popularity is evenly divided between the sexes.) Then, he turned to his left and looked right at me. (No silly, I immediately said to myself, he's just looking in your direction, and everybody thinks he's looking at them.) Yet, there was no one in front of me, yet, and our eyes felt so locked. Then, he raised one eyebrow in acknowledgement of some unspoken shared belief, as only Elvis Costello can do, and turned to face the crowd again...
As anyone who saw this tour knows, Sting came out next, to join Elvis for the second half of "Allison." The crowd went wild and I was immediately snapped out of my suspension of disbelief. Their duet was priceless... but could never top the connection I felt during my "moment" with my musical mentor. Elvis Costello is a rare gem of an artist that will never be replaced or up-staged. Whether he is all alone, fronting his band, or an entire symphony orchestra, his voice just melts me like EMOTIONAL CHOCOLATE!

| New Yorker Cover -- Satire or Slur? Send Editor Remnick A Message! You don't even need to open the latest edition of the New Yorker to see racism in the media and the presidential race. All you need to do is look at the cover! The July 21 issue of the New Yorker magazine features a caricature of Senator Barack and Michelle Obama in the Oval Office. Michelle is clad in guerrilla warfare garb, a machine gun over her shoulder. A portrait of Osama bin Laden is over the fireplace, and Barack (dressed like bin Laden) is giving Michelle a fist bump while a U.S. flag merrily burns in the fireplace. In this context, we're guessing the fist bump is the one Fox News described as a "terrorist fist jab." New Yorker editor David Remnick says it is satire, so that makes it okay? Sorry, we're not buying it. This cover will appear on newsstands across the country, possibly the world, and will likely do more to fuel racist stereotypes than to skewer them. Take action NOW by sending a message to David Remnick! Your message to the New Yorker? Tell them, "If your cover cartoon about the Obamas is a satire, we aren't laughing. Stop peddling racism and religious intolerance in your magazine!" You can use our letter, modify our letter, or write one of your own. It's media biases and blunders that inspired NOW to create our Media Sexism Hall of Shame. Check it out! NOW’s ongoing campaign to keep the Media accountable needs your financial support, donate here! Meanwhile, tell the New Yorker what you think NOW! | ||
