Now THAT was a rally.

I wonder if you know why Frank Sinatra was the greatest saloon singer of all time.

It was his ability to connect to the audience and his ability to INTERPRET songs.
His voice was exceptional due to its phrasing, not anything super-technical.

His connection and phrasing allowed his interpretations to be greater than the sum of their parts.
As a politician, your rallies are like Sinatra interpretations.
Sinatra went with his gut.
Nothing he did was contrived.

He was also one of the greatest film actors of all times.
He never rehearsed, and never did more than one take.
People took it as arrogance.
I don't.
He just knew what he was doing.

Most government is folderol.
Most music production is folderol.
Most filmmaking is folderol.
Tradition, orthodoxy, power plays, agendas.
All are substitutes for TALENT.

I listen to very little new music, and I watch very few new films.
I always check, just to make sure.
And I'm always right.
I'm missing nothing.

There are a few standouts, like the self-taught, all-round musical virtuoso Jacob Collier, and guess what?
HE'S CRITICIZED.
A lot of people have no idea what he's doing.

Collier rejects conventional music theory.
In music theory, you're not supposed to play discordant nots because they sound jarring and creepy.
Discord is used to indicate craziness.
Collier is relentlessly positive, so he figures out ways to use "microtones" that work.

Microtonal music is astonishingly hard to make sound beautiful.
But Collier does it.
He sings all the vocal tracks and plays all the instruments, combining them in a way that defies conventional music theory.

Musicians who UNDERSTAND are blown away.
Collier always shows how he does things, so he single-handedly revolutionized jazz, rock, funk, and soul--for people who aren't envious and critical.
In a DIFFERENT way, Sinatra was a one-man revolution.

Sinatra tells a story as he sings.
YOU make your rallies into a story-telling session.
We all have mind movies going as we can see the imagery you're conjuring.
It's just another skill in the endless list.
You don't win by accident.
