AHHHHHHH i don't give a shit what cody's "given" name is… cody is an entertainer. i don't remember when it was anything but normal for an entertainer to choose a stage presence that fits the message they are trying to put forth…
to the anonymous a-hole that thinks he's so smart… you are wasting your breath, cody is who cody is. who were you before you became a smug anonymous internet poster?
Everyone fire up your sarcasm meters here�
PrairieVoice thank you so much for your insightful thoughts on this. I too think it�s time that we put a stop to creativity and let Darwinism run it�s course among these ne'er-do-wells�
Ok ok� I can�t even keep that going for a whole paragraph. Back to reality.
So PrairieVoice, in your opinion it�s time for Abigail Henderson and her husband (as well as all the other fine musicians and artists in this city, nay the world, to grow up and �get a real job��
Did I get that right?
The fact is that there are a great many of us who choose a different life for ourselves than factory work or office jobs or corp America. Jason Harper in the Pitch used a term I have never heard but will use from here on out. We are the �Creative Class�. We are the people who paint pictures and sing songs, make films, tell stories and enrich the lives of everyone else who wants to find some beauty in this world.
I make my living with my art. I am a filmmaker and songwriter/musician. And I am friends with this woman who you found time in your day to belittle.
I find it interesting that you say that creativity and artistic fame must be attained by 30.
What do you mean she had some fun, she had some fame? You have no idea how hard it is to write your own songs, put a band together, have the balls to get into a van and tour the country (and Europe I might add) relentlessly. When you decide to be a songwriting musician you are almost taking a vow of poverty. You do this because you have something inside you that needs to get out, stories that need to be told, things that only YOU can say� the way you would say them. You are making a choice to add to the cultural canon of collected artwork that has changed the world.
Get a job, she has a job� hell she has three jobs that I know of� and you should get a life. I would imagine that if she had your politics and was in support of your causes maybe you would be less critical. But I digress.
I leave you with this thought� the world would be a quiet place if no one was allowed to sing except for the ones who have �made it�
Making it does not mean making bags of money for us. Making it means bringing something new a beautiful into this world. That is what my friend Abigail Henderson does. And I thank her for it.
