Amanda Palmer at TED: "The Art of Asking"

Love her work and thoughts so much.

For most of human history, musicians, artists -- they've been part of the community: connectors and openers, not untouchable stars. Celebrity is about a lot of people loving you from a distance, but the internet and the content that we're freely able to share on it are taking us back. It's about a few people loving you up close, and about those people being enough.
