Hey, I've been doing some soul-searching lately. I lost two of my closest friends very recently, one to untreated health issues and another to untreated mental health struggles. These were my brothers growing up and we' were all part of giant group of incredibly close, loving, dedicated friends that made lifelong friendships while making great music and getting together for great shows.... Music was always what brought us together. All of our great memories have theme songs attached to them.... Sometimes it was the music that we wrote that became the backdrop.
It's made me reflect on how isolated people have become after the pandemic and certainly with the rise of texting and social media. We all need friendship and genuine human connection, and it's just lacking these days big-time. When you walk around you see people with their nose and their phones rather than looking up and saying hi to each other. It's pathetic! And what's sadder is that it's creating division and isolation.
This inspired me to create a music tour called "The NEW FRIEND TREND TOUR" to foster new friendships and connections through music. Music brought us all together in the '80s and '90s, so why not now? I'd love to set up a system where bracelets are available for everyone to exchange during the show, helping people connect with others.
What do you think? Can music bring us all together again and help us make new friends?
