TAYLOR SWIFT — 'Fortnight' (feat. Post Malone)

‘The grave of the Russian composer Alfred Schnittke in Novodevichye Cemetery in Moscow is surmounted by a stone on which is engraved a rest beneath a fermata with a triple forte noted at the bottom: A very, very loud extended silence.’

- John Biguenet, Silence (London: Bloomsbury, 2015), p.49.

The fermata suggests the indicated notation (in this case, a rest) is to continue at the discretion of the conductor. When the chosen conductor arrives, Alfred Schnittke will rise again.

Nothing to see here, just a street corner in New Orleans…..

This is The Violin Monster and he’s really cool. You should all look him up on Facebook. He’s the most talented violinist I have ever met, and he’s super sweet and friendly. He also teaches violin to kids. His back story is he’s a 400+ year old werewolf from Galway, Ireland who plays violin to quell his hunger for human flesh. I forget the details of how he became a werewolf, but I think it had something to do with a deal he made with a witch.

Story time: so one day I actually had spending money, so for funsies I kept putting money in his jack-o-lantern (that’s what his tip bucket is) requesting Scotch-Irish folk songs, and he didn’t just play every song he PLAYED them like he was in a music battle with the Faery King. I was quite impressed. Later, I ran into him, mask-off, at Café Envie and I told him “That was really cool, but you still didn’t play my favorite song ‘The King of the Faeries,’ do you not know it?” and Violin Monster looked around and over his shoulder, and then leaned over me and said in a hushed tone: “Oh I know it, but it’s bad luck to play that song. They say if you play it three times the Faery King himself will appear. So I don’t play that song anymore.” And then he smiled and walked away.

I don’t think Zach is just one of those performers who never breaks character, I think he’s actually summoned faeries by accident with his amazing music.

OKAY SO

It is time for my Seb theory

Seb was a wunderkind at RBR. He had a great car, the team backed him 100%, the stars aligned. He had everything in his favour and he used the hell out of it. Full credit to him for using every advantage - many have had dominant cars and worshipful teams and not used them as effectively.

Then he followed his biggest dream, to go to Ferrari and bring the title back to Maranello, as Michael had.

And I think THAT is where Seb became a champion.

There is a probably apocryphal story of someone saying to a famous movie star "you've done it the wrong way around, my boy. You're a star but you can't act yet." I've heard it said about Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Paul Newman, Robert Redford - lots of men who were attractive and young and made money and got famous but then kept working on their craft and ultimately developed the talent that made them leaders in their field.

And I think that happened Seb.

He won titles at RBR but it was at Ferrari that his character, his intelligence, his social conscience and his craft caught up.

And while he didn't bring the title to Maranello (Merc was just too dominant - "no regrets" *bites fist* as Seb said in Japan), he grew so much there and became an amazing ambassador for the sport, a social justice and climate advocate, a leader among the drivers (so many have commented that he was the first or only to reach out when they were in crisis), and grew into the greatness that was assigned to him early in his career. I think having everything handed to him on a plate and then not getting his biggest dream was the making of him.

Niki Lauda once dedicated an award to "the losers" because you don't learn from success, you learn from failure. I think Seb's career exemplifies that.

He didn't "peter out" or lose his "greatness" at Ferrari. He found it.
