“Band members have a special bond. A great band is more than just some people working together. It's like a highly specialized army unit, or a winning sports team.

“They call it collective energy. It's that same feeling that you get when you meditate amongst a ton of people. What actually makes the festival feel so special is that while you're watching a band or an artist, you're standing there, kind of feeling the same feeling with so many people in such a small space and that gives you collective energy. It's that kind of strange feeling in which you almost feel people breathing.” PeopleGivingFeelsKindFeelingsArtistEnergySpaceSpecialStrangeBandStandingBreathingCollectivesFestivalsStanding ThereSmall Spaces Author:Chelsea Leyland
“Some eschew wine for their religion; others just don't cotton to it. A slew of Americans consider wine a fancy-schmancy treat for special occasions. They do not understand the concept of daily wine.

“In college, unable to be "special" - or in demand - as a girl, I made myself useful, even essential, in my microcosm - as a writer and photographer for the band, particularly for the band director. My "specialness" was to produce something of value, not to look like something (with that different kind of "value"), so I was still fundamentally invisible, but had a significant purpose.” LooksKindMadeStillsDifferentPurposeValuesGirlSpecialProduceCollegeBandDirectorsDemandEssentialsPhotographerSignificantInvisibleDifferent KindsLike SomethingMicrocosmSpecialness Author:Cris Mazza

“I was in bands as a singer-guitarist-songwriter until 1980-81. So, there's a bunch of stuff. A lot of the stuff is hard to come by-stuff by the Special Interest Group and the Zobo Funn Band. The Zobo Funn Band was a big Northeast cult band. We had about a billion skirmishes with the big rock industry.” HardBigsStuffInterestGroupsSpecialRocksIndustryBandSingersBillionsBunchSongwritersCultGuitaristSpecial InterestsInterest GroupsSpecial Interest Groups Author:David Torn
