Joseph Arthur, Musician, Artist, Poet; I'm Still Here, I'm Still Creating (S3 E17)

Kites and Strings

In this episode we talk with Joseph Arthur, a renowned musician and painter. We learn that his first love was music, that he started young, and that he was discovered and signed by Peter Gabriel on Peter Gabriel's record company, Real World. A little research tells us that he's played with some other big names, that he's been part of the bands, Fistfull of Mercy, and RNDM, and that he's made quite a name for himself playing his solo music.
He's also a visual artist, having been nominated for best album design for his album, Vacancy, he's exhibited internationally and has published a book featuring is visual artwork.
Joseph shares quite a bit about his beliefs and concerns for a world where people are not nearly as free as they might think they are, and we follow the Matrix rabbit-hole for a while as we are also reminded by Joesph himself that he was "cancelled," (for speaking out against the COVID 19 vaccine), but it has been that experience that has helped him feel free and most able to do what he wants.
