Reaffirms, continuing highly creative music world. 24/7. Not falling into depression from outsiders, haters, jealous souls. Imho. Thank you both. Adrian Belew & Innerviews channel. Subscribed.
I saw this fellow play with his comrades in Woodstock ny a couple years ago and I was amazed at how Adrian has the energy of a happy teenager, it is unabashed Joy. Now I can see deeper into his process from this little interview. Thanks⚡️
I've been a huge fan of Adrian Belew since his Zappa days. Seen him numerous times live over the years, and he's always smiling & just plain having fun. Without realizing it I've kind of adopted his "love bubble" concept, and it really does make a difference. Hang out with fun, happy people. Ignore negativity, and share happiness & humor whenever possible. Life is much better this way. 😊
When Jeff Beck passed away, Adrian wrote, on Facebook "there is so much I want to say but it will have to wait. I'm devastated.". I would love to hear a conversation between the two of you in which he shared some of that some day. Best of luck with your channel.
What he didn't explicitely say was that nasty people can and will intrude one's life and "Love Bubble", but we all have at least some control over how much they can disturb it. Adrian is a stoicist, more than he may have realized.
The important corollary to this, I believe, is that what lies outside the love bubble is just that- an indistinguishable mass of stuff out there, not an object of hate and vitriol
It's a good policy Adrian has there. My wife does that and is much happier for it. I used to think she had an innate knack for it, but I realize I was slighting how even if she had a head start over others in that line of thinking, she took wherever she started and then added to it, working to attain the discipline to push away mentally the doubts, regrets, all that negative self-stuff ... because after you've rid your environment of negativity, even after you've ditched the smart phone, you still have your own mind. I have a different starting place but I too would like to cultivate that discipline, the discipline to say, I don't need to let these bad things into my physical or mental spaces, and I have the right and the power to exclude them - at least, far more power to do so than I thought.
Always liked Adrian for music...didn't know I'd also appreciate him for philosophy. The late, great Rick Nelson set many of these same sentiments to music in "Garden Party". 🤔🧐😜
I agree with the concept but the problem is you create a love bubble and the things that you've ignored INTRUDE into your bubble. I can't very well go to the grocery store and pay 60% more than I did before and put that outside my "love bubble". I could ignore the people and causes that created it, but I'm going to have to face off against the price because I have no choice but to eat. I like the idea, but I'm thinking it's not really "realizable" because those in the "hate ambiance" intrude into your "love bubble", one way or another.
This guy is an idealist. Of course we all try to eliminate toxic people from our lives BUT sometimes we JUST CAN"T. Like at Thanksgiving, or a work meeting, or a church project. There's always going to be sucky people in our lives. It takes a GROWN UP to deal with it in a mature fashion. Running from them is not always an option. Duh!
People who are not deeply affected by music are listening to the wrong music. I don't mean this as a criticism but a suggestion that by exploring different genres of music ,there might be music that does move you deeply.
And what of Social Responsibility Mr. Belew? Sometimes we need to engage in things and with people who do NOT make us happy. Finding balance is the challenge, particularly when it's difficult and uncomfortable, but we know it's the right thing to do and, rather than avoid it, we CHOOSE to do it anyway.
I think what he's saying applies well to the people you directly surround yourself with. But you're correct that this could be taken to an unhealthy extreme: pollyanna is not a good mindset.
That's smart. Ignore the facts if they don't make you happy. And if something affects you, then spout off opinions about facts that you have long ignored. Perfect path to peopledom. Respect where it's due, however. Zappa did pay attention. Got pissed off, and doubtlessly had stressful times as a result. But the man had depth of passion that doesn't come easily with willful ignorance.

Great advice! 👍
Is Robert Fripp in Adrian's bubble??

@@BBlooger The more it costs the hungrier people get. But hey, love bubble.

Don’t put yourself somewhere you don’t want to be.

Pretty impossible to implement. Especially if you have to commute every day and work at an office every day. And deal with decisions forced upon you.
