Andre 3000

One thing I’ve been thinking about quite a bit lately is what it looks like to have your creative expression shift around as you get older.

I’ve seen so many of the bands and artists I loved when I was younger enter a new stage as legacy artists. When I’m with creative peers, I take note of the median age of a room, and wonder at what age do people in this discipline typically peak? Step back?

I know I’ll always want to keep making stuff, but there’s a difference between being a Chevy Chase, who keeps trying to run the same things out there, and a Steve Martin, who keeps finding new ways to reinvent.

I’d like to thank André 3000 for yet another example of what that looks like. Good flutin’
