In response to some fans who have mentioned that they are getting negative comments because of the amount of time spent following David’s career, this is my perspective:
How can someone at 18 inspire us to be better people? How can he create such an overwhelming sense of well being? Just hearing his voice soothes my ruffled state. Does he have us mesmerized with his songs? Do we try to explain his magic? Analyze our affection or pretend we don’t love him when teased by family or friends. Does the constant ridicule fade away or does it gain momentum? All of these apply to some of us and we have learned to listen and politely accept their well meaning comments. You need to feel David not explain David and until you can do that no one can understand our relationship as fans. Do we have ODD? Probably! Is it unusual? Probably! But David is unique and provides an unusual amount of promise that no other artist has given us for quite sometime — a long and interesting career with a gift from God that’s meant to be shared. He is our instrument of love and good will and I have no intention of giving him up. He touches my soul and lifts me up when days are low. Thank you David for changing our world!

This is why I’m so glad about the internet. I am able to find like minded spirits who have experienced the same emotions I feel when it comes to David and his music. 🙂
David himself is able to face his own critics with grace and good humor. We have heard him say many times that others are entitled to their opinions even if he doesn’t agree. Remember how he completely disarmed that cruel EW guy (who shall not be named) by simple kindness?
It’s even possible to live in the same house with those who have polar opinions so long as we respect one another and give each other the freedom to be true to ourselves.
I agree with lyrix that the Internet is a great gathering place for those of us who feel David’s talent.
I don’t try to explain it. I just enjoy it.
Here’s a big thank you to all of my friends on the web who get it. 🙂
oh my heck the tears jumped out on this one pikepress. I don’t get the bad comments any more nor do I try to hide my love. It looks like you nailed the sentiment right on the head.
The thing is WE DO LOVE HIM!! and dearly I might add. He does have the magic and he uses this talent well. He does not abuse it. He does not know each one of us individually. But collectively David loves us too.
If it were not so, he would not continue to touch so many souls.
We all knew him before this life, and he knew us. Yes he is a gift. Thank you for your comments

I’m lucky in that I haven’t received negative feedback from friends and family. My support for David exists on many levels, but everyone I’ve spoken with seems to understand my keen desire to support what’s positive and uplifting in the culture. Goodness knows there’s precious little of that to go around at this time.
