I just read a post by the wonderful Kanta Devi, who is on her way to the festival in Carthage. I replied, "Enjoy yourself for me too, Kanta. This time I actually scraped together the funds to go...only for the American State Department to STRONGLY advise me not to go to Tunisia! I wish I were kidding. Anyway, let me be there through you! Many hugs and much love!"
So here I am, an American citizen, with the will and the means to travel to Carthage for a watershed musical experience, and I will not be there because my government deems it unsafe. All right, I understand that the situation for travelling Americans isn't ideal, but shouldn't it be my own choice? Me, personally, I can blend in anywhere, and I've already done so in the past. I don't want to rock any boats. I just want to hear some great music.
Where's the visa for the internationally aware?

The dreams came with the spring, intense experiences of thought and feeling and love with an unknown man. Every night I'm waking up and crying out to him, even though he was nameless. And then I heard a melody, starting simple but soon taking control of my body, filling my mind with thoughts both sultry and sublime. With the music the veil fell, and I knew the man before me, the man who was mastering my heart but was a kind master. He was soul and spirit and ether.

Welcome to my heart's desire. I started this journey in 2010. I've come to understand that no United States-based fan organization is currently operating--or if there is, it's well under the radar. Well, that's just wrong. So it is that I'm taking on the challenge of calling all fans and enthusiasts in the States to join me (yet again) in creating a new online group where we can discuss and share and show that yes, there is interest in the United States! If you would be interested in this new project, please contact me at ejconroy778@gmail.com and let's see what we can create!

Method to My Madness
A lot of this blog is going to be personal thoughts and experiences related to Jean-Michel Jarre. I'm also on a mission to make my fellow countrymen more aware of who Jarre is, what he has done, and why he's a charismatic character. I'll be posting articles and interviews, Jarre-related material on YouTube, and links to the many Jean-Michel Jarre fan sites from around the world.
