Seth Godin recently wrote a blog post few days back about 1000 fans. He spoke about how not all fans are helpful. Some fans support the work, spread the word, and care about the mission. Others complain, pick fights, and expect more than they give.
I thought about this after watching the Thug Life audio launch. Chinmayi’s voice was back on stage. And it was full of feeling deep, soulful, unmistakable. There were lot of tweets asking for her version of her. (Guilty here as well)
Whatever the reasons she was kept away all these years, her voice didn’t lose its power. It reminded me of something I wrote earlier: Art vs Artist. In that piece, I had asked whether we can separate a person from their work. Today, I feel something else: sometimes, we forget both the artist and the art.
Chinmayi’s return reminded me that good art finds its way back. True fans don’t just watch. They remember. They share. They help the work reach others.
If we care about something, we can’t take it for granted. We have to show up for it. Again and again. Movements only happen when people move.
Cheers!
