The love of liberty is the love of others the love of power

Summary

This quote suggests that there are two fundamental types of love: the love of liberty and the love of power. The love of liberty represents an altruistic form of love that values the freedom and well-being of others. It represents a selfless and empathetic love that focuses on the needs and happiness of others. On the other hand, the love of power represents a more self-centered and egoistic form of love that is driven by personal gain and dominance. It illustrates a love that prioritizes one's own interests and desires above others.

Pop is a little bit theatrical. That's the whole vibe. That's the point - is that it's great music, great melodies, great hooks. But, on top of it, it's a presentation. There's a showmanship about it. And that's why I wanted to be a pop star.
