I was watching Patrick's piano medley last night and thinking about the person he was during that Soul Punk tour when he met Casey Benjamin, when he was taught that music should be joyful and playing should be fun. I think about the way Patrick ended up on that tour in the first place, the way his band of friends disintegrated, the way fame made them miserable and destroyed them. Patrick talks now of watching his best friend spin away from him, no matter how hard he was trying to defend him from the slings and arrows cast away. Patrick talks now of losing his purpose is an artist when he lost Pete. Patrick stepped into the soul punk tour fresh off his memory of folie, his experience of being rejected all around. Imagine being Patrick stump and being reminded that music is supposed to bring joy, that music shared communally is supposed to be a happy occasion. Imagine how revolutionary it must have felt to be told that, so far away from whatever moments of joy music once brought Patrick stump before the roller coaster started sliding downhill.
I was watching Patrick's piano medley last night and thinking about the person he is now, how far away he is from the flailing kid Casey Benjamin took aside and gave permission to smile. Patrick, so brave, every night, on every stage, tossing songs into the crowd and smiling. Patrick, so determined not to lose his band again, reaching out for Pete through the pandemic and holding onto him so hard. Patrick, making another album, going out on tour, for the sheer fun of it, and finding the fun through all the flubbed lyrics and false starts (and head colds).
Patrick's journey is such a hero's journey, from that scared kid in a pete-gifted hat who hid behind him on stage to the fierce and stubborn force that keeps challenging his band forward and refuses to give up. No wonder Pete stares at him in wonder every night. Who wouldn't? That kid he thought would be a star ended up a star and yet never stopped wanting to have fun with his friends most of all. That kid never abandoned him no matter what he did, held on so tight. What a catch. And then last night that kid showed how far he'd come, threw a song into the set because he had too much emotion he needed to let out, and the crowd was there for him, and so was his band, because after the whole mess, twenty years later, Patrick stump smiles on stage, even through his tears.
(I didn't know Casey Benjamin, obviously, but Patrick clearly loved him, and I send my condolences to everyone whose lives he touched. Which seems like a lot.)

Y'know, if a formerly well-behaved straight A student suddenly starts almost not passing their classes and crying all the time and getting into trouble, maybe the default conclusion from every authority figure should not be that they are lazy and simply need to pull themselves together. Maybe instead you should give them stimulants or HRT or let them kill their parents and see if one of those three things resolves the issue.
