Phew. Well, I must say I wish I’d thought of this before now. And this is why I have always said, “remember, ultimately it will be the artists who save us.” They are the akashic librarians of the human experience. We don’t evolve without them, and conversely our evolution is not recorded without them. A hundred years from now – a hundred million years from now – who we were and how we transformed through time will only be told by the artists. It will be all that remains of us.
But more importantly than that, the remnants of their reports of our time on earth (so far) inform us today about our why. Would we be here without the artists, the creatives? Personally I don’t believe so. Creative innovation solves our problems, heals us, finds a way out of the dark. A way. Through the keyhole of time and space…
My comment got lost. Good article, and it was great to hear that Dylan track.
