Ain't it the truth...
Andy Warhol predicted this over 30 years ago.
There was a time when America loved celebrities...they had such cache' and pinnache. They were the symbols of what we dreamed and desired. Their talent made us pay attention, but today, celebrities can by your next door neighbor--outed on Youtube for cleaning the house in his/her underwear. Reality shows have literally forced great soap operas to be cancelled. Everyone wants to be a a clown. And real talent these days... puuuhhhlllleeeaaassseee . Two words: Justin Bieber. Why is this boy famous? I don't get it...and don't want to. Usher is a pimp and is getting paid, though...
I used to buy a lot of music, but I swear, I can count on both hands just how many cd's I've actually purchased in 5 years.
It was good while it lasted. Saw some great moments in the movies, television and in music growing up, but all good things have to come to an end and I feel that the age of the celebrity is now a thing of the past.
