I love his videos! It's obvious that he's a great person and I wish that more people were like him. He brings light, warmth and beauty into this world!
That's what the arts can do, for a brief moment we forget differences and are touched at a visceral level by something we all have in common. That common ground is the beginning of awareness but only the beginning. We thank you for this insightful comment
There are so many people with disabilities today that hardly anyone even notices. That's because, when I was a kid, the handicapped were kept out of sight or couldn't go anywhere because the public was not educated as to how they should be treated. There were no accommodations for people in wheelchairs, the deaf, the blind, etc. Perlman helped to make such badly needed changes. People seeing him for the first time felt sorry for him... until he performed.
I'm not gonna lie, the first time i heard Perlman play, I had no idea he had a disability. When I found out, I think that it actually just made him that much more awesome.
