Fun! Yeah i think that’s what graeber & wengrove would call “play heirarchy” - temporary, rotating or situational relations rather than the perminant domination of heirarchy.
yup. there’s a few hand signs everyone knows so we all know whether to play the intro, bridge, solo, verse, chorus, ending, etc. if it’s your song, you lead it and you need to be responsive to the crowd. monty python caused us to call ourselves an anarcho-syndicalist commune but we just enjoyed the time we had together.
That doesn’t sound like a heirarchy, if you can all just do your thing.
If the manager or frontman tells everyone else what to do and you can’t decide for yourself or tell them what to do, that would be hierarchic.
frontman directs the song. that’s how it works. we took turns being the frontman for different songs.
