Great question, and answer. I think we all hope you make enough to keep making music, which although not as acclaimed as it should be, is loved and appreciated by many 🙂
Thanks so much for your honesty and sharing your perspective on fame. I would imagine it would be a burden to be recognized all the time, and always having to deal with the public. We have a very skewed view of celebrity in this country that doesn’t necessarily align with talent. I admire your humility, purity, and dedication to your artistry. It’s a pleasure to be a part of your journey, and witness the generosity you have in connecting with your followers!
Alice I think that was a wonderful question to ask. Thank you.
Allison I appreciate your answer to the question. I always think of you as a superstar, but in so many different ways. Music, your paintings & photography and of course your books/writing. But most often, when I speak of you with friends/ others, the first thing I say is how incredibly kind & thoughtful you are. As a mom, as an artist, as a person. I’m glad you bobbed & weaved through life’s ups and downs, and landed at your kitchen table in the early morning light 😊 To paint & create things you’ll share with all of us.
Still appreciate you helping us get through the Covid times with SSS.
Love to hear you sing and especially play the piano! I saved every handwritten thank you card you sent. Still do.
Thank you Allison. You’re famous in all the very best ways.
Being in the public eye must also be stressful if you are a Super-Star. I friend of mine who lived in rural England and had found a note on here car when she returned to it after shopping. It was an apology for scraping her car and a phone number to call to “sort things out”. The note was signed Paul Mc.
Knowing that a certain ex-Beatle lived in the area, she wondered if it could be him. She rang the number and it was indeed Paul McCartney. Star-struck, she thanked him profusely for letting her know he’d damaged her car snd promising to fix things when most people would probably have just driven off without leaving a note.
He told her “Just imagine if I’d driven off and somebody had recognized me! It would be all over the newspapers tomorrow”. Her conclusion was - If someone damaged your car, it’s best if it was a celebrity. Being in the public eye, keeps them honest! ...Well sometimes at least!
I appreciate the honesty and humility in your answer, dear Allison. There is a Latin phrase I agree with: "Non nobis solum sed toti mundo nati," (We are born not for ourselves only, but for all the world), which means to me that we all have something to share with the world, if only we know what it is, and we at least try. However, it must be balanced with the humility to also understand the message of Biblical "Babylon": Never climb so high that you can't survive the Fall.
Right on Allison! I love your answers.
