Give a little love in return…with a heart!

Errr...hello, Invisible Movement visitors, this is your webmaster. You wanted to "hear my opinion on this", as if it would matter, so here you go.
Way too many people have asked me super-bizzare stuff for the past couple of days: to change every single bit of text that says John is the guitarist of Red Hot Chili Peppers, to change the keywords for the site, to do this...to do that. Some even asked if this site would go on (and why wouldn't it? O_o). On the other side, I was confused by how many people were suddenly inviting their friends to join their "I want John Frusciante back in RHCP" Facebook groups, use their hashtags on Twitter and such.
And I was wondering, why hurry? What kind of times are these? What are you all doing? Stop for a minute.
I assume the modern times - where we were taught to observe humans of flesh and blood as some sort of playthings that exist to be absorbed, consumed and replaced once there's nothing more to consume, just because they happen to be known to most of major public - have twisted many people's perceptions. I find it strange. If you see someone as a person like you, you don't go against their will. You don't go around guessing what they might be thinking. You don't insult them in public. You do not automatically assume that everything they do - they do it for you (sorry, Mr. Adams, don't sue me!). Everyone needs some space for themselves, their own world and their own decisions. And that is my "opinion", regardless of who the person is. It's based on experience, years of learning through doing this here, falling in quicksand, hitting the poles with my face and similar.
Looking around the internet for the news items on John's departure, I saw people write some really nasty things. Some others acted as if we all witnessed a person die, god forbid. There was either negativity or panic everywhere. And I know we're all better than that. I know that most of you can show support and give love back....without unnecessary drama and more fluff than needed. And it was a bit sad knowing that we were all sent love and gratitude to. How about giving some love in return? No strings attached, no purchase required, just out of respect.
The most common symbol of love is, well, a heart. I would like everyone who feels like being SUPPORTIVE of John's decision to leave a heart in response to this entry. Just leave a heart you drew, made and scanned or something similar in comments - images are now enabled.
I don't like limiting anyone's creative expression, but here are some basic rules:
- Your heart should not be broken or malfunctioning in any other way.
- Do not write anything directly related to this matter in your heart.
- Do not use something made by someone else.
- No personal messages of any kind - PLEASE. Let's make it tasteful, and not as if this was a "fan cult", like someone said in comments to the previous entry.
- If the image's too big, post a thumbnail linking to it. If you need help on how to do it or on how to post an image in general, this might help you. Check the step 5a for the correct format.
If you don't follow these rules, your comment will be deleted. If an entry is tasteless or tacky in any way, it will be removed.
There's no time limit on this, but of course, it would be beautiful to gather as many hearts as possible as soon as possible and be spontaneous instead of planning it. And these hearts won't go anywhere - they're staying here. Like a giant message in a bottle, but beating happily, giving some love in return.
<3
P.S. It took me ages to type this out and I'm slightly ashamed/scared.

HERT!
I do it quickly...
But it represents years of love.
I don't know why i did it, because i usually don't do that kind of things, but maybe is to demostrate to the world, that are people who understand other people decision's and is happy because they're following their hearts.
Everybody have a nice day!

I'm sad that John has quit the Chili Peppers, but I have great respect for him that he has the courage to be true to himself. John Frusciante is honest enough not to pretend to have his heart into something that it simply isn't. I wouldn't expect him to make another album with them like this because it wouldn't be fair to him. People should honestly be glad that it's under these circumstances that he's leaving, & not like before. I think it's more important that he's healthy & happy.....he is a human being after all.....so shouldn't people that are truly his fans just wish him well & look forward to not only the Red Hot Chili Peppers next album, but maybe another John Frusciante album too!

I'm sad that john left the peppers cuz i really wanted to see him live, but now i'm just excited for the possibilities. i want to see what josh does with the peppers, and i want to see if John can top the empyrean!!!!!! i still love you john... and the chili peppers too =)

That's about the only thing you got right, as you totally didn't read the rules.

Sorry, the first link doesn't work, therefore, I'll try it again:

I think that he's really brave to do what he feels.

Hey Iva,
I did expect nothing else than you handling this situation perfectly judged! Great!

I love the music of John Frusciante with all ma heart ..
I hope he does not forget the live experience he gives his fans. Good luck a thousand times
<3<3
I'll just have to settle with these hearts because I can't make a better one at the moment. But this thing here made me so happy right now.
<3ALWAYS BE YOURSELF<3
<3 big heart! I'm sure everything will turn out mighty fine, and we'll hear some great music from johnnn ( and hopefully the newly memberified peppers).<3
<3
We should all be excited by the new direction that RHCP will take - John's given some of his greatest input to the band, but isn't the be-all and end-all. RHCP were around before John, and have survived his loss once before. Klinghoffer is a superb musician, and will have fresh ideas to bring to the band. John can go on and make the music he wants to make (and hopefully a lot of it!).
Thank John for his work in RHCP, remember the brilliance of his music and live performances, and support him in his future projects!
My recent post coke_baby: @murphyz lmao - the last time I heard the term "uphill gardener" was in Queer as Folk, a great scene.

This is my heart, this is me.

I agree that this is not a tradgidy. I am sure that the Chilis and John will both survive and thrive. I am also sure that if the exit is indeed amicable, there will be some collaberation and maybe a guest appearance some day. I am also sure that maybe oneday John will even decide to record or write or evn tour again...he just needs more time and has other stuff he would like to do...if he ever does comeback it will be even better because it will be honest and inspired!<3

Rest of the comment edited in order not to spark up a totally off-topic discussion.
didn't meen to cause any offense if you thought i was going off topic sorry
I'll get back at you, I didn't have the time to...you didn't do anything wrong, it was just...a bit strange, plus the rest of the world is kinda O_O at your tradition...:) You're welcome to start a thread about it on the board, though.
<3 and :* this heart and kiss will reach beyond any type of anger
<3
(Mine didn't work at all.)
Xpld, I need a whole URL to the page with your image, so I can edit your original post with the thumbnail version...the original is HUGE, so it has to be linked that way.
I've been messing with it for a while now and I don't want you to be left out, so please do send me the URL or repost the right version. If you need any help, I'm around.
Thank you, Iva^^
I don't know if you changed something or if it was the usual insanity of modern technology, but...I just found it on the first page (wth???). I hope it stays there.
Once again, thanks a lot

<3 It was a great disappointment as a RHCP fan to see that John had quit the band, knowing that no one really can adequately replace his spot in the band, but since imo John is the greatest musician of our generation, I believe his decision can only lead to more great music. If the Empyrean is any indication (and I think that album is his greatest yet) then the music will only get better. John has a remarkable ability to create an emotional connection with his fans, whether it is his work with the Peppers or his solo material, and I think that is his greatest quality as a musician. Best of luck John and I, as well as many others, look forward to what comes next! <3

(Insert pretty hand drawn heart with a smiley face & wings here (tried to do it but couldn't) <3
<3 <3 for twice of seen him live ,
<3<3<3<3<3 for the albums hes made with the chili peppers
<3 for giving me inspiration to become a guitarist.
... love heart post fail
I am not 100% sure what happened here and why/how it got deleted, because I didn't do anything. O_O How about posting your heart again?
An east coast blizzard just provided two feet of beautiful snowy love for JF....
<3
Big John Frusciante fan and big RHCP fan, but if John doesn't want to be in a band more power to him. Actually I am really hoping it will mean more music to listen to between Frusciante's solo work and whatever new stuff the Chili Peppers come out with =D

-- whatever colour your heart is, John.
Its quite hard to explain what it represents - maybe a bleeding heart or a melting heart of desire or a broken heart being showered with love. Finding out out John decideing to leave the Chilis is a heart breaking instanteous reaction. Then, being reminded of all the music past, present and future that he has and will create is a refreshing and warming reality.
Hope you can see the image, I used my arm for that =P
I think the reason why some fans have been acting really angry or sad to this news is that they love John so much, and love make us do crazy things.
Me, I'm a little upset like most people, because this will make it harder to see him live, and there'll be no more RHCP stuff with him. But I feel fine as long as he left the band on good terms, and he is healthy and happy, and he still releases some of the things he does so we can keep listening to his wonderful music. And I always liked Josh and his work, so let's see what he's bringing to the band!
<3 !
Love <3
My recent post Departure
sorry about that... I still dont really know how to use it :$
What are you sorry about...?
It would've been better if you made a heart and submitted it, but nothing you've done was wrong...?!
Much love and respect from the <3 soul brother john! Onwards to glorious musical adventures!!
I support John in all his decisions !

Oops srry about that I thought a heart would come out but it didn't! My apologies!
That's what I think many people failed to do. Try it on an image and then post that image?

This should be a heartshaped box a little girl gave me with love and gratitude years ago which I want to share with love and gratitude with John. The cat jewel was once owned by Truman Capote apparently and given to a relative..

John, your love for music will live through you no matter the path you take. I love your music in Red Hot Chili Peppers, but I also love your solo projects just the same. Your passion for sounds is beautiful & I would share my love and support to you on whatever musical journey your heart takes you. Thank you for sharing your creative, experimental, different styles & techniques with all of us, as well as sharing what's in your heart, with all of us, you truly have a beautiful loving soul, which radiates that energy outward in the music that flows like a river from you. Thank you for being you & sharing the beautiful Rockin Sounds with the world! Keep on shinning your musical hues that bring you to life....love the saying, spinning the world to the beat of my drum, the Heart Drum!
Love&hearts endlessly go out to you!

I suppose there's this strange notion in the modern world that as soon as 10,000 random fools on the internet say person X has to do act Y, they'll feel magically compelled to do so.
It's not very respectful. I much prefer the idea of sending some love into the ether.
..and apparently I didn't use the correct image code. Sorry!
Yay, now we can look forward to all of John's esoteric solo work. I'm sorry, why should we all pat John and the back and wish him happy trails? As a fan, are you supposed to mindlessly praise all a musician's music and choices? I thank John for the years he spent with the Chili Peppers. Hopefully he won't go out and start doing drugs again. But just because I am a fan does not mean I have to like his decision.
The fan thing just doesn't work in some cases. You don't see another human being as someone who's 100% public, who's like a cartoon character that can never be hurt and you take whatever comes from them, as it's not like you're related to them in RL and that they're obliged to do something YOU want from them. If he was a member of your family, if you were friends with him or working for him and now losing a job, the thing you wrote would've made sense. Otherwise...I'm afraid you're very, very wrong.
Esoteric? I believe no artist shares EVERYTHING with the world and I highly doubt John won't share anything with the world anymore. As a writer, I know I'd have a problem with people reading every single thing I'd ever written. As a designer, I do not release all my designs to the public. Nothing strange there. And it's not like John's obliged not to keep anything for himself just because he's famous.
Therefore, I assume you should find another place for your wet blanketery. Cheers.
No, but as a fan your supposed to accept that an artist changes. They try new things and go down different paths. You can either go with them or stay behind and stick with the back catalogue.
John, as a person, has done what is right for him and what he feels right for his music. We as fans, as you say, don't have to like the decision but we have to respect it if we have any respect for the man himself.

Thanks for your music John, both with RHCP and solo. It's been a tough year with lots of ups and downs and personal heartbreak. In a way, your music got me through. Hope that doesn't sound strange.
>.< Not very good with computer stuff. Sorry
This is what I was trying to do...
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e352/shannyfan_...
Don't worry, I took care of that for you. <3
As much as I am sad about John leaving the band - and I really will miss him from that aspect! I completley understand and respect his wishes. He has to go where his vibe takes him and if he is out of fuel with the band then it would be almost pointless to continue down that route. You can only do what you can do. And only what is within him will come out of him. I better type a heart incase my emojis don't work <3
He=Art
That's so clever and it rings rather true to me...:D

Sorry, couldn't edit, but really meant to put he=art as my offering : )
<3 John I will always support what you do. I will have a hard time supporting you if you stop making music altogether though. But I will still support you non the less. Thanks for making great music

Well, here´s my heart and all my love and gratitude to John! I´m feeling better since I read John´s letter. I think it was the way in which he wrote every word that made me feel better and made me understand he´s going in a new way. John is going to be inspired and focused in their own music now. He´s going to spread his wings and fly!!
Thanks for being who you are John!
All that you wrote there is true! You're Right!, I totally Agree!
