2 Rock Star Things That Took Me 25 Years To Find Out
—

Rock Star Take On LEGACY was recorded on 6 March 2025

In this video;

1. welcome to another episode 00:00
Of a Rock Star Take On.
And this time it’s about Legacy.
But what is a Rock Star? And what is a Legacy?
So much context for this one, right? I have no idea where to start
😅

2. What is a Legacy? 00:33
The short version? What you leave behind after you’re dead.
But even thinking about this concept in itself, is such a singular thing to do….

3. The THREE types of people 01:33
The Builders, the Nurturers and the Creatives.
Why they are relevant with regard to Legacy;
And how they relate to the concepts of Core Culture and Outer Rim.

(in the background you can hear my cat Flipje 🐈‍⬛ hurdling over the tripod, which was apparently positioned on his athletic track)

4. A Legacy left to whom exactly? 06:55
How relevant your work will be in the future, is impossible to predict.
Because whether a future Core Culture is open to your work, or authoritarian and therefor closed off, is impossible to predict.

So don’t put all your artistic eggs in the Legacy basket of “After I die”;
Because there’s just so much uncertainty there!
☺️

5. option 1: How about leaving behind NOTHING?! 09:35
Great idea!
Can you phantom how brilliant this would be?

6. option 2: Keep only the finished art 10:10
And partially erase everything else.

7. option 3: Keep EVERYTHING 11:42
Leave everything and include everything, so it at least be considered.

8. The story of ANAIS NIN! 12:15
The story of 20th century diarist Anais Nin is a great example of how we cannot know which part of our work will be the most relevant.
Definitely listen to this part, if you do not know her story already
(and even if you do!)

9. option 4: REFUSE your legacy as being part of your work 16:45
The radical choice.
Do only the work (of connection) that requires you are still ALIVE.
And refuse the work that can still be done when you’re dead.

Next stop, Rock Star Take On?
BELONGING!
