Sunday morning here. Too lazy to drive to town to get the Times this beautiful morning (they do not deliver out here in the sticks.)
Went online to read what’s what. Drawn to this profile of Rick Rubin.
Rick discusses going by feel, magic, and oh yes, Paul Potts whom many of you are now familiar with.
I found the article informative and inspiring. You can read it here (though you may have to register). Give yourself 15 minutes.
Oh, and what the hell…
Why not post Paul Potts again?
If this doesn’t choke you up, you ARE made of stone…
And remember… dreams come true. But only when you have them.
that was so uplifting, thank you for sharing. No dry eyes here :0).
Holy guacamole batman! That was incredibly moving! That is about energy well and truly – that guy’s energy was focussed, pure, and well, HONEST.
It reminds me of why I watch Australian Idol. Hanging out for moments like that when someone drops their fear and lets their soul speak to the world.
wowsa
Yes, a cool video, huh?
Figured lot of people have seen it already (over 10MM views on YouTube), but the power of that is palpable…
and I really like Rick Rubin’s attitude too… I feel like I’d like to listen to some music with him… and I just happen to have lots of the albums he produced, from Slayer (yes, it’s true) to Johnny Cash…
good stuff.

I could tell that Rubin’s life philosophy is similar to your msg, Drew. and thank you for reminding us this summer to listen to cool music and LAUGH often… The article on the changes to the music industry is fascinating, too. Not having an iPod shows my age but I do love all kinds of music, still listen to the radio, always want MORE CDs, etc. and now today, I’m craving some Opera.
Hi Carrie…
yes, from reading that profile (and what I’ve known of him before, Rick Rubin seems like a cool dude with a cool life.
iPODS are cool, but to really expand your horizons, i LOVE satellite radio (Sirius). whatever mood you are in, just turn the dial…
warmest,
