  • This week we wrestle with the idea of whether artists and musicians succeed more if they are considered relatable or aspirational. Does it even matter or SHOULD it even matter? We also try to figure out where I fit on that scale. Please, tell me what you think. Also...there are a lot of strange tangental stories in this too. We can't help it, sorry!
    You can follow both of us on Instagram @justinhawkinsta or @jennymayfinn
    Thank you so much for watching, we really appreciate that you even bothered!

    The sideboard behind you is relatable, my nan had the same one in her council house thirty years ago. Hers was filled with multi-pack bags of Morrison's own brand crisps, a massive stack of Yorkie bars, and a single bottle of advocaat purchased some time in the early 80s.

    I’ve only got 45 minutes into this, but Jenny May Finn you have the patience of a saint! That “Yes, finally!” at 40:16 was *incredibly* relatable! It was driving me crazy how Justin was just not getting it at all! And his fixation on bin bags, compost heaps and laundry would have been really infuriating if it wasn’t so ridiculously funny. With only 35 minutes left to watch, I wonder if Justin will actually get around to answering your question? Can’t say I’m optimistic… 😂😂😂

    G’day Justin, Rikki from Australia here. The fact that you have this channel on RUclips and communicate with the fans who enjoy your bands music makes you relatable all on it’s own. We couldn’t do this in the 80s, and having contact with someone of your calibre brings the mystique of a famous person a little bit more down to earth. I absolutely love hearing your opinions, your thoughts and your gripes with the music industry. It makes me enjoy your music, and the human all the more. Thanks.🤘

    I went to see Saxon a few years ago and after a build up for the band getting to their places on stage and them all looking like hard rock demons, the lead singer spoke to the audience in an extremely funny and relatable way. He just said "We have come from all the way from Burnleyyyyyy, anddddd, I've got that horrible feeling I've left something on in the house." I just thought it was so funny and relatable...

    Really interesting conversation guys! I’d say relatable is someone I can look at and think “I can do that!” and aspirational is someone I look at and think “I’d love to do that and I will try my damn hardest!” and then there’s arrogant which I think is displayed through a lack of self awareness and gratitude!

    An artist can be a Rockstar, a larger than life aspirational figure when they are in their craft, but they should still be relatable as a human being when they are not in their element... at home in regular life. When people can achieve a balance of that, that is very desirable than being one extreme over the other.

    This was a brilliant episode. Congratulations as always Jenny May and Justin for your fab work. So much to unpack in each episode! I would consider Justin relatable, especially because of your RUclips channel. Your personality definitely speaks to the 'everyman' who has an interest in music and learning and passion for creativity. Onstage, I would suggest aspirational, you're definitely awe inspiring to watch on stage. All energy and connection with the crowd, primal rawness as well as glam (What a combo!). I think that pseudo relationship thing that Jenny was talking about is real as well! In so far as not knowing someone and mourning them, i.e Diana. I remember I cried like a baby when Bowie died and he was not what I would consider relatable at all, defniitely aspirational or mythical. When he passed I remember people saying things like his music gave them permission to be weird, which I liked and related to. Listening to this podcast, while cooking breakfast, making the bed and doing the washing up was a weird irony. Justin, please empty my compost and do the laundry! I bloody hate doing it - all of it. I do love me some clean sheets and the smell of clean clothes though, but f*ck housework, damnit! Long comment, sorry. Great show again and I look forward to the Ren ep (and other vids in between!). x Also, the J-LO thing is probably down to 'tall poppy syndrome'. We have that in Oz is that a thing everywhere? When we celebrate someone on their rise to the top and then cut them down when they get too big for their boots. It's weird and stupid, but definitely a big thing here in Oz...

I'm a little too old to be starstruck but since I bought Permission To Land on release you're the one bloke I'd truly love to meet. Justin you're sound as f*ck.

    Stephen Tyler was relatable in person. Friendly, engaging, generous with his attention. He seemed interested in whether he had met you before or what you did for a living, etc. When it came to the performance on stage, he was absolutely non-relatable because he was absolutely amazing. After the show, he was again relatable. He was 45 when I met him and he was less than reticent about things like only being able to back-flip across the stage once. LOL I couldn't tell if he was counting his lucky stars or disappointed in himself. I was in awe so I said as little as possible, except to tell him that Janie's Got a Gun is a true classic that will stand as a testament to the band's ability to write a truly great song. He appreciated my saying it. At least that's what he said...

I also agree that I wouldn't think of approaching you in public or anybody else I didn't know, cause that, is just plain awkward and uncomfortable for all involved. Though I once did meet someone "famous" (Marlon Brando) and I had a really normal and everyday conversation with them, as I had no idea who they were. Just a person who was kind to me as I was to them and that is the way I like it and it might possibly be the way to relate to another when you connect with a person whoever they are :)

    The guy who said 'hey I like the podcast' - that's the way a fan should behave. Short, sweet, non-intrusive, not interrupting when you are in conversation with someone else. Just the "I appreciate what you do" is all that's needed. I've never asked a celebrity for a photo, an autograph, any of that nonsense. Anything above the "thanks dude for your contributions" is intrusive. It's called good manners, proper etiquette, being raised right (as we say in the south). In fact, Elton John lived in Atlanta, where I've lived most of my life, and made the comment that he liked living here because people left him alone. It's a shame "celebrities" feel they have to be sheltered away because of intrusive fans.

    I think it's a mix of things - I think covid and then currenly cost of living crisis have changed a lot in the way people perceive celebrities. We (the social "we") used to like looking at unattainable, sparkly rock star/diva/crazy celebrity and maybe to some point fantasise about being in that world, just like we fantasise about winning the lottery, but it didn't really clash with our every day lives. Remember that Paris Hilton and that other "bimbo" celebrity girl reality show in which they did like farm stuff and shit while being two super rich entitled girls from extremely wealthy homes? People loved it, they saw it as funny and endearing. But covid hit and we weren't allowed to hold hands of our dying parents and grandparents and now people have to worry about buying groceries or paying for electricity and this sparkly glittery/crazy rockstar lifestyle is not funny anymore. People are tired, scared and worn out and they will look at JLo and her expensive dogs that poop gold and diamonds and they will go "what do you know about real life?". And to be honest I think JLo with her many failed relationships and probably a lot of nasty crap she went through knows quite a lot about real life, she doesn't have to take her own bins out to be a real human. But celebrities haven't yet realised that people don't want those mink-coat-in-the-kitchen public personas, not right now at least. The cult of that kind of celebrity might be dead - temporarily or not. I don't know. I think something has shifted and I think celebrity industry hasn't realised that fully yet.

    Good debate. For what it's worth I think people don't like it when folks think they are superior. Thinking they're better than the rest of us and certain tasks are beneath them. If we're honest we all enjoy to take people like that down a peg and plant their feet back on the ground. Aspiration for me is more about wanting to be like or do something similar. You guys are relatable because you have your feet on the ground. I don't mind that James Hetfield hates taking his bins out. I don't like it either but we still do it. That's relatable. If he said I'm not doing that It's beneath me. That's arrogance and deserves to be called out. If you tell me you don't have time to cook for yourself 'cos you're busy and don't have the time. That's not a problem, I can relate to that. I aspire to be able to pay someone to cook for me. Is it not the same as the old "Do you know who I am" statement that is guaranteed to wind up everyone in the vicinity?

    I've got some friends who are really clever, some are musical, some are artists. A few even have a bit of a following in their field and could be termed as being a bit 'known'. But I don't see them as aspirational as they are my peers, I know what they did when they were young/at their worst/most boring. There are many well known/famous/godlike artists and musicians who I adore/feel protective of/would love to kiss/be kissed by etc etc. But I am really happy that they are living in an imagined reality well away from me, where they seem to be creative and free and able to express themselves without being told off too often or seem too much like the pub bore or needy neighbour. Saying that, I do like to try and find out the person behind the creativity, but it is still very removed from 'bin work' or laundry concerns. I think if they came down to my level (ie. were a friend/acquaintance/peer etc etc, the aspirational magic would disappear. So, I love my heroes to be aspirational I guess.

    I love these interviews! Jenny is awesome and totally relatable here. I think Justin is both aspirational AND relatable, and although I don't think both are required to be a rock star (or celebrity, in general), a good mix of these attributes is ideal, as fans can feel good supporting someone who is not only amazing, but humble and real.

    Is it that music taps into emotions on a visceral level and lyrics connect to common human experiences that's directed the focus to relatability?
    I think on some level fans expect artists to continue to express and model behaviours that reflect their own experiences despite being able to afford quite a different lifestyle. The evolution of social media has eroded the kind of mystique you mentioned, Justin.
    You’re articulate and inspiring, as well as being an accidental ambassador for tourism in Norway. I must go and witness the black metal folk frolicking free in the forest before they’re all domesticated and wandering in shopping centres.

    I met Chris Evans on a train into Waterloo one morning many years ago on My way to work he wasn’t in first class, not in fancy clothes or anything else to say he was a celebrity I said morning Chris and he replied good morning I didn’t snap his picture or ask him stupid questions a really nice down to earth man. He owns the most expensive Ferrari sold at auction but every year he lets sick and disadvantaged children go out in his car collection for free. Relatable, he had addiction issues but spoke about them and freely admitted to them and dealt with them. I have met other celebrities on the train some off whom’s arrogance is absolutely disgusting abusing staff and other passengers demanding what they believe to be their rights due to their self belief of rank.
    Justin great channel I come firmly from the eighties era when all rockstars had to have a mansion, helicopter and a pool to wash The rolls Royce in 😂

    On the subject of Steven Tyler in public. In the ealry 90s I lived in a town on the coast of Massachusetts. One day, I was in the local hardware store. Ot one point, I heard a store clerk asking if he could help someone. The I heard the person answer, it was a gravely, unique voice. I turned to see who possessed that voice. There, stood a small man wearing sweatpants and a long scarf. His face was as unique as his voice. He was staring intently at some door knobs, then he left. As he neared the door, I saw a woman waiting for him. She was blonde, wearing giant sunglasses and tight, brightly-colored leotards. Somehow, her appearance made me realize that I had just been watching Steven Tyler shop for hardware. I ran home and told everyone I knew. Most of them had grown-up in that town. They affected a paternal attitude and told me that it was Steven Tyler and that he lived about 2 miles form my house.
    After that first sighting, I saw him numerous other times, around town. Once, on afternoon of New Year's Eve, I saw a group of young kids riding their bikes. I did a double take when I realized that the boy in the middle was Steven Tyler.
    Another time, I saw a man and a woman on a quiet street. They were pushing a baby carriage. As I got closer, I realized it was Steven Tyler and his wife. I tried to respect him privacy by keeping my head facing straight forward while I watched him with my eyes. In hindsight, I'm sure he was watching me, with amusement, from behind his shades.
    Having been a huge fan during the band's formative years, I did approach him once. He was very nice, sort of trotted a little to shake my extended hand. I've heard from others that he is usually very accommodating to fans. I only heard one person say that he refused to sign autographs once, and that he was very respectful and asked for people to let him off the hook that day.
    I'm 67 now. I'm not subject to the same hero-worship I was when I was younger. Still, there are a few people that I would approach, if it could be done gracefully. I think that, if someone has strived to be famous, they should do their best to accept the attention of those who gave them fame. That said, celebs are people too, they should be treated with the respect all of us wish for ourselves. Meeting a famous person is interesting but it isn't likely to solve any of one's problems or change one in any lasting way.
