The Airportline: Observations

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.
