The neighborhood is changing, some old faces are back, even if just temporarily. I am including you, ajw720! Let’s hope they stay, even if they only drop in for brief visits and then are gone again, whatever works. Pav is a complicated, clever little survivor. He never really died, because they couldn’t kill him. But it had to look like he had. Love you, little bird. Let’s hope they stay, even if they have to do so under less than open and ideal conditions, weaving in and out, only as necessary. And I had a narrative on this earlier in the week regarding these two, fighting back against injustice, and choosing what calls to the soul over money. When songbirds find their voice, they are not so easily silenced. That song travels from a bird in a cage to the songbird in the mountains to the birds in the forests as other birds echo the song. Everything I saw posted led me to assume Ke/n Sun/shine would be shutting him down, as that fierce political advocacy and intelligent voice goes against his carefully crafted public image and does not make money for the corporate suits. And Ke/n Sun/shine and Fo/x, Dis/ney and Broad/way, iHea/rt and Qui/bi and the music industry, and even RM and Co., still have tons of money to make off this kid, they have plans. His activism regarding the problems in other countries, especially Asian ones, will undermine corporate efforts to “monetize” his public image in that market. Corporate suits DO NOT like activists, when a large chunk of your fanbase is young Rachel Broadway aspiring babies with privilege and their Karen moms, as I said before. The music tour with Le/a was targeting and building that audience for him, and strengthening his Broadway ties. For his art, yes, but always monetizing his image. Every move made is calculated to cement that public image, develop and expand a new niche audience. This newly emerging (for D) and rapidly expanding Asian fanbase and market, proven out by the Asian fans of Gl/ee, Ver/sace, and Holly/wood, with D as the draw and throughline here, and now being developed by his team, are in danger if he over politicizes them, NOT because of the fans, mind you, but the Asian corporate suits and moneymen who must appease the governments through which they function to allow for these shows and their stars to be seen there. And I also noted that, for every impassioned tweet D made, C was doing the same, in multiple forums, often in spaces that would not traditionally be his, such as the blackout day for musicians and songwriters. If you recall, C has even recently been taking his own self out of that lane by saying publicly he doesn’t think of himself as a singer or musician. But he publicly supported this blackout day right alongside D, without clearly tieing it to say, supporting Am/ber, for instance. He was probably ALSO told to cool down the politics and stay in his “children’s book author and gay rights advocate” lane right now so as not to confuse, possibly frighten, and possibly alienate large portions of HIS audience, who tend to be young children and their parents and probably overwhelmingly white. Again, one needs to remember, corporate suits who control all these strings are ONLY about money made off carefully constructed public images tailored to specific audiences. Black Lives Matter folks were never the audience for C and D, unlike Amber, and strong advocacy of such could gain them nothing, and lose them a lot, just from their existing and potential growth audiences, according to their “algorithm,” as Net/flix likes to say. Those “numbers” are how people make decisions about one’s image,” and how they shape an artist’s career, by looking at the long game and controlling and crafting any changes to same. The artists themselves are not supposed to do that spontaneously, that makes it something unpredictable and therefore uncontrollable. But, again, if you were watching and are a fan of BOTH, you could see how in sync their social media was this week and last. That ALSO is not allowed. Pav is not necessarily D OR C, it is D AND C.
