I'm that creative guy that can't release a piece of art until the full story of why it came into being is shared. Only to hear the passerby say, "That's not the interpretation I got from it." As artists it can be a very tough journey when people see things that weren't meant to appear. Most keep their creations in carts and boxes for the world to never touch because when the right message isn't felt it's received as being just another day of judgement. On this podcast we step forward with an honest view of how to handle those moments when the mind body and soul have separated from the real world and everything that you are feeling isn't showing up in the warm arms of those that assume they know you. What I love most about A Star Is Born is how it embraced the secret beast that so many carry. What we missed was how the real world continues to live on without understanding the signals of a weakened traveler. I'd invite you to look into the creative path of those we think are struggling but those willing to bring art forward have mastered the art of hidden speak. They hide behind the paint without explaining what brought them to that place. Even as writers it's too easy to make up word formations and the readers take it as is without knowing the weight of what's been carried. How do we train the wandering community of art lovers to look beyond what's shallow and see the stream is actually a river of rocks Mental illness in America isn't always the person. It's always right there in plain sight.
