“Once in a Lifetime” concert– Queen + Adam Lambert
August 1, 2014 Jade Moon
This isn’t a review. There’s no way I could write anything remotely objective. These are my thoughts on being something I’ve never had the pleasure of being before– a fan.
And yes, I did travel from Hawaii to Toronto for this concert. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. I was THIS CLOSE to Adam Lambert and Brian May.
And no. No, I do not consider myself crazy, or “dangerously obsessed,” as one of my friends said. (I THINK he was joking…) :lol: .........
What a thrill. What a high.
But I am a fan and as such, I admit to a certain degree of obsession (After all, the word “fan” probably is short for “fanatic”).
But here’s the thing. That obsession breeds passion. Passion leads to exhilaration. That exhilaration sparks camaraderie among like-minded, equally enthusiastic people and hey, it’s all so much fun!
Best of all? There is the sheer, unfettered, heart-thumping, eardrum-shattering JOY of standing amid a giant throng of 16-thousand swaying, rocking, fist-pumping, singing, screaming fans– losing yourself in the music you love performed by artists you adore.
What a night.
This wasn’t a concert as much as a musical thrill ride....... :w00twave: ........
After two decades as a journalist observing from the sidelines, watching others lose their crap over sports teams, actors, musicians, TV shows and even video games, I finally get to do it myself. And now I understand what being a fan is all about.
It’s love.
I know what you’re about to say and no– I haven’t gone over the deep end. Much :rolleyes: :haha: .
And I know it’s not the same kind of love you feel for your spouse or your child or your closest friends. Wouldn’t it be silly to equate fan love with romantic or familial love? I’m not silly. I’m a fan.
And I repeat– It. Is. Love.
It’s love of an ideal. We are attracted to beautiful, exciting, wonderful things. Things that make us feel good. Things that stir our emotions and draw on our great capacity for loyalty.
Whether it’s an artist, a book, an athlete, a team, a movie, a band– it’s something or someone you admire, respect, exult in, revel in, want to be around, wish the best for, care about deeply.
You give them the gift of your devotion. They give back the gifts of their talent and their equally passionate desire to make you happy.
It’s give and take, desire and emotion. It’s passion and participation.
