Wait..I'm confused. I believe Mika said he 'hates' escapism? Mika's music, (if anything at all from a psychological standpoint) is most def escapism. I love you Mika, but...I'm sensing a bit of denial. (JKJKJKJKJK:shocked: )
The 'I love you' bit in that last paragraph was most important - p.s.
anyway, his music does have a message..most of it is 'pointlessly delicious' , but at the same time it communicates a message...sort of. I mean, not necessarily a universal one but --aah rambling--point is, there is no doubt in my mind that Mika's music is especially appealing for the dreamer and the outcast because Mika has succeeded in creating a community where those types of people are glorified....thats just not reality. Its AMAZING, but in real life, Billy Browns and Big Girls are not appreciated like they should be..so I guess I'm just really confused at Mika hating escapism because you know he could be legitamately lableled an escapist because of the idealism of some of the characters that he makes up and the world he creates for them ..(idealism lol I dont know if thats a word) idk...I geuss this is something to take up with mika b/c I don't understand... (hooray a legitimate excuse to fly to europe and seek out mika! hahaha p.s. not really. i wish.)
Alright, better stop now because this is a pretty pointless rant. Sorry about that, everyone. Especially Mika, because your music rocks my socks.
