Multiple identities

From Lil Wayne to Ryan Adams. The Airportline is changing momentum, from larger than life insanity to red wine stained lyrics about lost love. It's a reflection of life I suppose, a reflection of an open mind even, that Lil Wayne and Ryan Adams can exist together, both bringing their own individual qualities. In a lecture I attended yesterday with Cees Hamerlink he talked about the danger of monolithic identities. When we reduce someone to 'a muslim' or 'a christian' and don't realize that this person is also a woman, a student, into music etc. People are complex and have multiple identities that can co-exist. When people forget about this, or try and make sense of the world by grouping people according to superficial group identities, that's when problems occur. That is why Lil Wayne and Ryan Adams co-exist here, cause I'm a fan of both gansta rap and melancholic singer/songwriter pop. Complexity defined, right here.
And how exactly does the appreciation of Kylie Minogue covers fit in with all this? And floor ball?
Complexity indeed. Next thing you know the Airportline will see posts appreciating Debussy's love of dogs, and my head will explode.
Sans alcohol. Ponder on that, my Swedish friend.

Kylie Minogue covers and floorball fits perfectly in this mess. The point is, we have to accept the mess and not try and make it something that is more easily labeled as something.
Who is Debussy by the way? Is it the French composer you are referring to?
