      What I loved the most about this quote is the fact that he used the word BY instead of WITH. As if the chairs are entities instead of objects. Like invaders taking up his personal space. Just found it to be a very subtle, witty Tim Minchin thing to say.

      Don't love him, emulate him. Or do both. Stop wishing for more people like him and be one of them. Another cliche but Actions speak louder than words. Absorb that, sit with it for a couple of minutes. It will change your life if you see it for what it is.

    Few artists will speak at commencement ceremonies. They aren't glamorous. They are often tedious and require you to sit through the graduation of hundreds of strangers. Tim, however, speaks often, especially at his alma mater(s). What matters to him is how young people are launched into their careers. His remarks are works of art. He plainly invests much time, thought, and heart into crafting his words of advice. Those words are as sensible and practical as they are lyrical. In everything he says you can hear the rhythm of the artist. If you saw Tim on the street, with his shaggy hair, beard, and unusual clothes, and if you did not know who he was, you would probably not guess that he is a brilliant, artistic humanist, with a love of family and a heart of gold. The man is awesome.

    He might add "Being a friggin genius doesn't hurt your chances." He's a good case for studying the classics - literature, philosophy, history, music - and then applying them all to a trade. One can see his knowledge of these things supporting his comedic talents, putting him on a different plane than most of those considered his peers.

    I’m not artistically inclined in any of the ways that Tim rambled through in this speech. I’m sort of a scientist, I played at being a pharmacist for 30 years. And much of the advice Tim offered was perfectly suited to my career. Most of what he said is just good advice on how to be a good human being. We need more of those.

    At freshman orientation, one of the professors in a group lecture accidentally said "if you can live without being a musician, you shouldn't be here." The other professors quickly jumped in to silence her - she'd just told the customers not to buy the product if they don't really need it. But she was absolutely right. One by one, as the next four years passed, all the students that were there because they didn't know what else to do, or because their parents had convinced them to be there, or because they just wanted to express themselves and weren't interested in technique - they all left. Sometimes I wish I'd left, too. But music was never a choice for me. I've been a professional for over thirty years now, and sometimes I still wish I was good at something that makes more money. But I'm here, I've survived. I've worked with amazing talents, made such astonishing art that, if I never sing again, I can die proud. It didn't make me famous, it didn't make me rich, it didn't win me friends. Most of my friends don't even know or care that I sing. But I have the respect of my musical peers, and I have self-respect because, like Tim, I am the best at what I do. I'm the best at being me.
    And I just wish it hadn't taken me so long to realize the truth of his words.

    Tim Minchin is such a shining example of what 'being' a human 'being'... is.
    We are inherently born to be social and to share ideas. We find a cause to live and the only barrier to this is always the jealousy of others who don't want to make the effort to be a better human being tomorrow, than you were today.

    I think I have figured out which voicing he is talking about at ~ 4:34. In C-Major, if we take the voicing E,F,A,B, then those notes are:
    1. the 13, b7, 9 and 3 of Gdom13
    2. the 9, b3, 5 and 6 of Dm6/9
    3. the #9, 3, #5 and b7 of a Db dom#5#9 and
    4. the 7,1,3 and #11 of a Fj7#11 :)
    what's cool is that you can do a diatonic IV-II-V-bII7-I without ever changing the upper structure of the chord (except for the resolution to I), e.g. Fj7#11 - Dm6/9 - G13 - Db7#5#9 - C6 :)

    05:50 listen carefully. If you missed it, then you are doing good.

      What do you mean?

      took the umbrella of a guy who's husband owns a record company. If you missed this, because it is normal for you, then you are doing good.

    I direct this to Tim, if he ever has the time to look at TH-cam! I read the article, in 2018, where you explained how depressed you became at the cancelling of your Dreamworks project and the Ground Hog Day play's, less than hoped for success. Listen to your own advise, both of those things happened for a reason. Perhaps it was to give you a slap around the head or a reality check, perhaps not, perhaps it was just to MAKE u come back to Australian shores to pursue other projects or interests. Perhaps the universe was saying, you have now learned that lesson, now let us take you on your next, shall we. Everyone on this planet is on the course, no matter how hard, that they were meant to be on. If we all accept that, and believe me, it is very easy to forget that lesson, then all will be good. Don't stress the small stuff, small stuff, you say, yes the small stuff, you still have your wife and children, your health and can still run! Will wait to see what next the genius Tim Michin has for us all, I, for one, will be eagerly watching.

    if someone is wondering the shape he is talking about at 4:45 is i i think a major third, major second, perfect fourth. so eg a eb-g-a-d, which would make it a dom 13 over f, a minor 69 over c, a dom 7 #5#9 over B, a maj 7#11 over eb

      j e correct. A common rootless voicing used in jazz, or known as ‘the claw’ as taught by Russell Holmes.
      It would also be a sus4 b9 over D and a minor 11 b5 over A :)

    Don't love him, emulate him. Or do both. Stop wishing for more people like him and be one of them. Another cliche but Actions speak louder than words. Absorb that, sit with it for a couple of minutes. It will change your life if you see it for what it is.
