I don't remember just where this is from, but I have to say
it's pretty true.
When we (the public) make people famous, we also make them
prisoners, in that we take their life away. No longer are they free
to be like you, to come and go unnoticed.
People come into a famous persons life and for the most part it's
a question of what do they want from me? It's never, "Hey, I just
like you because you're you." it's always "Hey, I like you because
you're some rich dude and a I want a part."
I'm not saying drugs are ever the answer. Rich or poor, that's a bad
choice.
But at the same time I really understand the concept of making famous
people prisoners in their own world. They live behind walls...because
they can't let you in.
And you won't let them out...
I did not know Amy Winehouse. I knew of her, certainly. But I did not
know her. But one one short minute, let's pretend she knocked on your
door. Would you of let her in? If she told you her name, would you have
treated her as a rich and famous person?
Or would you have treated her as just a normal everyday kind of person?
