Music tends to be one of the few things that people can be passionate about. Whether it's the way a song or band makes you feel or the how a certain sound can bring back a moment or memory or even the attraction you feel towards a sexy frontman. Music provides perspective.
Enter the Dave Matthews fight.
There are bands that have fans and then there are bands that have life-long followers. Dave Matthews has both. The lifers belong to The Warehouse, see more than five shows per year and can defend and influence a conversation about their obession through a passionate argument.
On the flip-side, there are fans that appreciate the music and may even call them thier favorite, but don't see the need for the obsession.
Two friends had this conversation not long ago. One is a lifer while the other is a fan. I can see and understand both perspectives. And after laughing about it, it had me question what things I'm most passionate about. What fuels me enough to fight for my opinion a converation?
I think whether it's music or movies or even art everyone needs something to feel and be passionate about. It reminds you to remember moments of the experience, the people you're experiencing it with and how it made you feel.
