Soulmates

It is no secret that I adore Reggie Watts. If I were to describe my perfect man, I would no doubt list all of the qualities that I think Reggie embodies... humor, wit, intelligence, talent, style, spark (to capture you in a way that you never thought you could be captured) and charm.

So yesterday, I was given the opportunity to ask Reggie any question of my choice. Whoa, what an incredible opportunity. There were so many, yet I shocked myself when I chose to ask him the following:

"Do you believe in soulmates?"

To my astonishment, he not only answered me, he answered me via video. You would suspect that his answer would be humorous or cloaked in some form of performance, especially given my unusual topic. Yet his response was quite serious. You can see it here:

When Led Zeppelin happened it was like the second coming of Christ. Unbelievable. No one should try to come after them. They should just give up. Their fear should just stop them in their tracks.

But that didn't stop Van Halen. They gave it their own kitschy and talented flair and we fell for it. Hook, line, and sinker.

Then The Chili Peppers happened. What was that? An unprecedented style and talent. And no one could top them, they were unbelievably creative, unique, and irreplaceable.

Well, Radiohead came along.

If you think that it has been done before, don't let it paralyze you, don't let it get in your way. You may think that you have seen it all before-- hogwash. You add a unique flair that has never been experienced. You have something to add. Something to contribute. Something that may touch us like we thought we could never experience again. So do your thing, and do it with confidence and passion.
