It never fails to amaze me...the depth of feeling this man inspires. We all love him so much, so truly, mind, body, heart and soul...

He has made an enormous impact on so many lives just by following his path...

He reduces us to tears and builds our sense of self at the same time...just by being Marty.

He is so humble and unassuming and at the same time he is outrageously sexy, bursting with raw power, aware of himself, who he is and how he makes us feel.

Tisha said it made her laugh to see him walking towards her like "he was the shit", all cool and sexy. Then she was like "ooooh wait a minute...he is the shit!"

He knows...he knows!!! He knows he is all that and at the same time...he keeps it real...so very real.

He is a natural wonder...he is in this place, in this time...because he is. And we are here to witness it. To remember what it is like to feel heat, to remember what it is like to to be a woman, to feel alive and sexy and powerful.

We are here to be roused from our comas and brought back to life, to find our creative core and get it moving.

We are here because he is.

He is here because we are.

I cannot believe that I, a very sane, rational woman am again crying over what someone has said about Marty. My face is flush... Why must he haunt us so... Don't stop Marty!

[Ava]

I cannot believe how much our Marty Mania has in common. I was thinking that I had to stop even thinking of Marty and listening to the music until I found this site and realized that this burning is really for burning the dust off of my soul. The only other time I ever felt this way was with a spritual guru. All paled in her radiance. I was willing to suffer the pain of opening up to the depth of her wisdom. But, with the whole sexy thing that Marty has going on, the burning is far worse, or better, this time. I too am a happy person with an incredible husband, good friends and a very exciting trip coming up. But I find myself still needing to melt into my Marty Mania several times a day. It is a drug I did not even know existed and now I am hooked.

Why Marty?

Because it is time.

I am an astrologer, that is how I operate, it is how I see the universe. Everything unfolds as it should, in its own time and for its own purpose.

On a human level I was as surprised and confused by my reaction to this beautiful, beautiful man as everybody else.

He moves me, literally moves me. There is a definite physical response to him. My body is in his thrall. Sometimes the surge is so huge I can feel the energy flying out through my fingertips and out of the top of my head...I am charging!! I am not being poetic when I say it feels like my skin is on fire. My skin actually feels like it is on fire...it hurts, it takes my breath away and sometimes it brings me to tears.

I cannot pretend that it is in my head, that I am making it up...this beautiful pain is real. It has purpose.

The fire is burning away everything that is not real or valid in my life. It has made me question every decision I have ever made. It has burned away layers of self deception and insecurity. It has reminded me that I am alive, that I am real, that I feel.

Because it is time.

We all needed to be reminded, we all have so much to give. Marty stepped up to meet his destiny and in the process gave us back our lives.

Wow, f**king Wow!!

Marty tells his story and inspires us to tell ours. Ours may not be through music, and it may not be heard by thousands, but it is sacred. That is one of the many gifts I get from thinking about what he means to me.

...yes Joely...you get it...

Watching his journey through rockstar, and learning more about who he is subsequently has been both rapture and agony.

I have learnt so much about myself and who I am and what my story is. I have rediscovered my inner rock chick and she is wild and funny and stands up for herself and takes no crap.

I love being me and I am excited about my life and my journey...because this beautiful man stood up and said...this is what I do...d'ya like it?

Someone take up a collection and get palari over to the U.S. to meet Marty!!!! She needs her moment with him....Gosh, I hope he can live up to it!! What a presence you are on this board... you deserve your five minutes (or more) with his smilin' face!!

[palari]

...oh wow...

thank you...what an amazing thing to say...

tears...

From what I know of Marty's fans I am sure you are not the oldest. But you ARE in good company here.

Marty is a presious gem, a real treasure, and we all are changed because of him.

*tears up*

I don't have anything to add because you've all said it so much better than I can. But thank you for reading my mind.

Oh, I could watch that clip from Rockstar over and over where he says.. this is what I do...d'ya like it? Yes ,Yes ,Yes and million times. Interesting that you speak of standing up for yourself. Yesterday I cried all day and here is what started the tears. I had been on my first MC internet binge the day, and night, before. So I woke up and laid there and just did a scan of my body and noticed which chakras seemed to be active (please google chakras if I have lost you). Well, you would think that it would be the base, sexual chakras in a titter. But when I put my hand on my solar plexus (between the bottom of the ribs) I started crying and crying. That chakra is the one that relates to personal empowerment and sense of identity. For me, this beautiful longing is seeming to be about having a roll model for personal power. Perhaps Marty will be my totem aminal! I am not really this New Agey, but these things help me work it out symbolically.

I was skimming through some of the other postings on this thread, and it got me wondering...is anybody here under the age of 30? I'm not asking in a mean way (I'm 37), but did we all come of age during the 70's and 80's? I see some of you were 80's metal heads and 70's hard rockers (I was a 80's New Waver --- The Cure, U2, Violent Femmes, Jesus and Mary Chain, etc). It's just really cool that LH seem to have found that music inside of us again. Found the rockers and music obssessed freaks that we used to be before we "grew up". Found the inner teenager (only smarter). Maybe since Marty is a Gen X'er like most of us are, he hits a chord with us. I know I was living life in a coma before he came into my life trying to live a life that didn't suit me. He gave me the courage to be me. Just another thought, he is a very intelligent person, very articulate which is probably another reason I like him. JD sounded like he was an idiot. Most artists nowadays (especially rap artists) can't string 7 words together to make a coherent thought. He reminds me of Bono onstage and off (except the whole save the world thing). Very personable, very well spoken, very thoughtful of what he says and how he says it.

Yep, I'm 32 (same as age Marty). I think I would have loved him as a teen, but this feels more refined, like I have lived enough to get more of the depth and to know what the coma life is. God bless someone who is speaking to those over 21!!!!! And yet, it makes us feel really young again becuase it stimulates us. I never did have a rockstar crush before, so this is all new and exciting and painful and scary. My inner 16 year old is yelling, "Finally! Turn up the damn music!"

[hot4bob]

joely, this is so my experience too!! "I never did have a rockstar crush before, so this is all new and exciting and painful and scary. My inner 16 year old is yelling, "Finally! Turn up the damn music!""

I actually was much more into pop music until just the couple of years or so, now l can't get enough rock What have I been missing out on???

I'm over 50, and I'm having the same reaction to him that you 30-somethings are. I grew up in the Beatles/Stones/Who/Yardbirds era, then went through the San Francisco era, then Bruce/U2/Talking Heads, and then basically tuned out. I got bored. Marty has reinvigorated my interest in "modern" rock music ... performed by artists who are actually thinking about what they are doing.

I know exactly what you mean...Marty's energy manifests itself as heat in my body...it starts at my base chakra...so hot and a deep red orange...it burns its way up through sacral and solarplexus...still hot but changing colour...when it hits my heart it feels like I am going to explode with it...thank god, goddess all that is for the music so that when it hits my throat I can open up and sing...

my third eye opens wide and the heat is white hot as it erupts out through my crown...rapture...agony...

trapped in it...I have never experienced anything like the energy that this man generates...

and I have wept too...

I am not this new agey either...my astrological practice is all about practical solutions for making sense of life's journey...

but yeah...the symbolism helps...puts it all into perspective...shows me where I am in my own journey.

Thanks for posting...

So well said Palari. I woke up this morning looking at all the awesome photos you have posted under fav. pix. The chi is flowing now! I am actually skipping my everyday yoga practice to be on here. It feels more vital right now.

[palari]

yeah...the chi is flowing...thats what it is...and here I was thinking it was lust...

I love the Talking Heads too. But so much of the music of my teens was boring to me and I just did not get it. Yes, it is never to late to set that teen free again! Thank Goddess, we all need it.

BTW...Joely...I sent you a private message...did you get it?
