Marriage Equality is on the ballot in four states this November: Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington.  The Four 2012   has created an active, evolving campaign that brings the issues around Marriage Equality to light. Each day a new video or graphic will be posted and supporters of Marriage Equality are encouraged to  repost the content via Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, blogs and emails.  Bruce Springsteen and Lady Gaga are featured in supportive ads on  The Four 2012   website . The Springsteen graphic created for the campaign reads:   Listen to The Boss  "The marriage-equality issue should be recognized for what it truly is - a civil rights issue that must be approved to assure that every citizen is treated equally under the law."

Watching these poignant videos of Eddie Vedder singing with Bruce Springsteen and knowing that Tom Morello was offstage waiting for his next turn, I am called to thank the numerous mentors in my life. As an artist, sometimes it is only the artwork itself that carries its influence into your life. Other times it is the day to day connection with a teacher, colleague, or partner. And for me it has also been the powerful influence of my family and friends. From my blazingly intelligent wife MarySue Heilemann , to my brilliant brother Kent Chadwick , to my supportive parents Bob and Peg Chadwick, to my teachers Sam Amato and Jan Stussy at UCLA and Dale McConathy and Richard Martin at NYU, to my colleagues at the Santa Monica Art Studios , to the always inspiring writer Peter Clothier , to my gallerist in San Francisco Sandra Lee , to my collectors over all these years, to my new friend and colleague in the arts Barbara Drucker , to my agent Gwenda Joyce , to the insightful film and the...
