Burt Bacharach
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Burt's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way Burt Bacharach comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Burt Bacharach - his real motivation, which describes the kind of person he is at heart and where his true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Burt Bacharach" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Burt a little better. This page describes the disguise Bacharach wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Forward-looking and progressive, he is a person who supports change, innovation, and human advancement, and Burt Bacharach is often strongly committed to a humanitarian cause or social improvement. He is extremely aware of the interrelations between all people, and is always projecting personal issues unto a greater whole. Bacharach sees the political or social ramifications of personal actions, and he wishes to contribute something of value to the world, or at least to his community or group.

The ideals of equality, fairness, human rights, brotherhood, and social justice color Burt's whole outlook and approach to life. He is truly interested in the good of the whole and not only his own personal well-being.

Sometimes he may overlook or ignore his own and others' personal needs, desires, and feelings, especially if they do not conform to his ideals of how one should feel or act. Though he has little patience for conservative narrow-mindedness, Burt Bacharach himself is sometimes dogmatic about his beliefs and ideologies.

He is attracted to the avant-garde, the latest advances in human thought and development, and he is eclectic and cosmopolitan in his tastes. He may consider himself a "global citizen" rather than claiming a narrow, limited identification based on nationality, race, familial heritage, etc. Burt Bacharach is strongly influenced by his peer group and the flavor of the times in which he grew up, more so than by parental or family influences. He is involved and active in groups, community efforts, as well as cultural and progressive movements.

On a personal level, Burt Bacharach is friendly and expresses a kind of impersonal good will towards others. Bacharach probably has many acquaintances but few really close friends, and much of Bacharach's relationships with others are based on a sharing of common ideals and principles, rather than on emotional ties. Others see Burt Bacharach as a good friend and a comrade who is objective, fair and rather detached emotionally. Burt does not often show his emotions, and may be unsure about how to respond to others' emotional expression, for he tends to be very rational.

Burt Bacharach is also very independent and refuses to be possessed by any individual. Burt Bacharach is not comfortable with traditional sexual roles and is inclined to have "liberated" views about marriage, relationships, sharing of child rearing responsibilities, etc. Burt Bacharach needs to have a life outside of the personal, domestic sphere and to be involved with people on a broader scale. The nurturing of family ties, and close, deep, personal relationships may take a back seat to Bacharach's work or outside social activities.

Despite the fact that his core self is quite distinct from the face the world generally sees, Burt Bacharach has a strong desire to be seen and recognized, to be acknowledged, and to have a significant impact on people in his environment. He may do remarkable things in order to be noticed. However, Burt Bacharach often does not get the full recognition he yearns for.

Burt Bacharach comes across as responsible, conscientious, and solid - qualities that encourage others to take him seriously. He is unlikely to present himself as more than he is, and this humility is often endearing, or at least appealing, to others. Even as a youth, Burt Bacharach was mature for his age.
