Dear Friends, I’ve been thinking these days about the why of life. I’ve been feeling a certain dryness of the spirit, as the old saints used to call it. Then I took myself to BAM to see Taylor Mac’s new show, the Bark of Millions. From the first number it was like a drenching rainstorm. A waterfall. A plunge into the ocean.
Such an uplifting post, Sal! I completely understood that uprush of collective emotion that can happen at a show, a gig, or a social gathering. It proves that a crowd can produce the best of humanity (impersonal, generous love) as well as the worst (mob anger etc). It's also what we can't experience online, but thanks so much for describing it here.
LOVELY!

Sorry I missed the show! I would love to see it.
