Compromising Art or The Art of Compromise
3/25/2012 by NoAngel

Adam has said in no uncertain terms that he wants to make it big in the pop music world. Does that mean that he crafts and manipulates his image and his music to suit the pop music box? I'd say yes. Does it therefore mean that he's selling out or compromising his artistic integrity? Before we answer that I think it's important to think about the tension that nearly all artists have between their vision/values and their desire for an audience, preferably one that pays enough (money and/or attention) for them to continue to create.

A little story from my own experience: I write poetry and a while back I submitted some work to a journal. They accepted a poem with the caveat that I make an adjustment to the last line. At first I was appalled and offended. This was my precious art—how dare they ask me to change it? It was perfect as is! But I really wanted to be published in this journal, and so I took a deep breath and looked again. Their suggestion was pretty minor, and it was actually a good one. I decided to make the change. Did I sell out? No, I believe I made the right choice for myself.

But it's not only artists who compromise. Have you ever gone on a job interview and "dressed to impress? Maybe you usually dress in an eclectic style, but you really want this job and the dress code is pretty conservative, so you buy a nice new suit and cover your tattoo and borrow your mom's pearl necklace. Are you betraying your true self? When they ask you about your interests and you talk about volunteering at a soup kitchen and "forget" to mention that you are a Burner, are you compromising your integrity?

The thing is, life is all about compromise, for all of us. Any artist who wants commercial success will acknowledge that some measure of compromise is part of the equation. It is up to the individual artist to decide what is acceptable and what is not. It's easy to critique those choices from the comfort of an armchair but none of us are in Adam's head or in his shoes. His choices are just that. His. Maybe I'd do things differently and maybe not. The reality is, Adam would have to "compromise" no matter what artistic path he chose. If he wanted to focus on classic rock music, he'd have to put his love of snythpop on the back burner. If he chose a career in theater or opera, he'd have to give up his propensity for improvisation.

The best I can do is to recognize that Adam is on his own journey and that he is the only person who can decide which decisions to make as he pursues his artistic and career goals. He knows himself, he knows what he wants, and he knows what he's willing to do to get there. As I learned, making a compromise isn't a tragedy; it's a choice. I'll leave it to Adam to make those choices. Meanwhile, I'm happy to choose to support the art that results.

Daily Requests
By myspenser50

And remember, if we request BTIKM, during the day from Q102, it will start off at the top of the list for the Takeover hour (AKA, Whack a Mole!)
This one is really important! So far, it has worked like a charm!

www.q102.com/main.html

Scroll about mid-way down the page and you will see a small rectangular box that says REQUEST A SONG.
Type in Adam Lambert and the song comes up right below. Then click on the green thumbs up & the cursor will say, "Play More.'" That gets the song played earlier on the TakeOver hour.
I would only do this once a day!
