I love Amanda Palmer. I think her music is just ok. Most people seem to agree. Her music seems to be more about connection than the actually making music as I think she states in this video.
She has an amazing ability to connect with her audience. She loves us and we love her back. There is a mutual understanding and appreciation for the very human condition of wanting to be seen.
In this video she talks about asking people to pay for music rather than making them and how through social media she raised 1.2 million dollars to support her last album and tour. And I really don’t think it’s because she’s married to Neil Gaiman.
She knows how to ask.
