As for parting thoughts and lessons drawn, I come face to face with the fact that Winky D is no longer just a musician.
He’s become a phenomenon, a principle, an idea. He’s become an event in time. A circumstance in our history. An experience.
I argue that Winky D has resigned from impressing and now he’s just expressing. He’s just become much harder to predict. This time he exchanged Queen for Queen and the entire board has been shaken.
His surging admiration seems to have a lot to do with his somewhat cryptic but unflagging character that’s only starting to dawn on many of us right now. His fans no longer just consume his music but they also absorb his nature.
They adore and identify with his aura. They see themselves in his integrity. They connect with his energy.
To begat one has to first become. A super star with an even more enormous super ego.
Judging by the distinct approval of a ‘statement’ of a single release, it’s hard to doubt his stamps. Winky D took the wheels off the ‘Same Old Train’ and took the scenic route.
He chose serenity over getting sweaty. At least that’s how I decode it
