  • Corporate Rock
    2025/03/21

    Music and creativity aren't just for professionals, but we've been conditioned to "cringe" at amateur performances due to corporate entertainment propaganda. This father-son conversation explores how buried cultural programming restricts our authentic expression and the healing process of breaking free from these limitations.

    • Unexpected technology moments create bridges between generations, from Photo Booth memories to accidental Zoom close-ups
    • Photo Booth sessions helped transform siblings from "enemies to best friends" through shared creative expression
    • SNL's 50th anniversary special revealed the humanity of aging musical legends struggling to warm up their voices
    • Cultural programming teaches us to repress physical responses to music, limiting authentic expression
    • Breaking free from "professional-only" creative mindset requires valuing personal joy over others' judgment
    • Childhood musical experiences were shaped by corporate messaging that designated creativity as exclusively for professionals
    • Finding creative voice later in life involves recognizing and rejecting artificial constraints
    • Physical feedback is essential for skill development, whether in drumming or other creative pursuits
