Just look at what happened to Jesus of Nazareth in the span of five days. On Sunday the crowd was joyfully cheering him as their messiah and laying palm fronds before him. But by Friday their joy had turned to righteous anger and they calling for him to be crucified. History keeps repeating itself because people refuse to learn it's lessons.  |

Yeah, it must be hard being famous. Because you are constantly dealing with fake people and a lot of negativity. It has to be very draining and you can see why so many famous people burn out so quickly. I am lucky to have good friends in my life.

You shouldn’t have given up singing or trying to sell your songs to people. You're too talented hun and your voice should be heard by everybody and not just me. There's gotta be a way you can do it without having to tour. |

That is one of the reasons I gave up being in my old band. Being famous is not what it is cracked up to be and that might sound cliche now 'cause a lot of celebrities have gone on to say it but looking at their stories and actually knowing some people who were in bands that were fairly big here at one point it is not and they not only have to deal with a lot of fake people like that but people only hang around them for the money and will dump them for the next big sensation if they money dries up and they are no longer popular. They have to be very careful who they trust too 'cause there are a lot of people looking to screw them over. You shouldn’t have given up singing or trying to sell your songs to people. You're too talented hun and your voice should be heard by everybody and not just me. There's gotta be a way you can do it without having to tour.  We have something special a lot of other people don't have and I have a good job that I enjoy and I haven't given up writing songs as you know and might try to sell them to some artists or bands but I would rather not be famous.

Yeah, social media has a lot of people to reach an audience they might not have under conventional methods. And damn, you are just all kinds of awesome.

Yeah, I honestly don't think fame is as great as a lot of people assume it must be. I mean, I can't speak from any personal experience, but seeing how famous people get treated in their private lives, no thank you. Rich, sure, I'd love to be rich, but I could do without being famous; at least while I'm alive. Let people discover a treasure trove of my unpublished written works or something; and take on an enduring posthumous popularity. In typical fashion though, humanity takes an idea and pushes to the worst extreme. People grace the world with their talent, sharing it with the world - and often not just out of the goodness of their heart, but in exchange for a healthy paycheck - and somehow when enough people mutually agree they like it, it somehow becomes justifiable to feel entitled to everything about that person, whether they want to share it or not. They offer us a little and we demand everything; and we wonder why so many of them lose their damn minds.

I didn't mind giving it up and I am happy just being with you and having what I have now. We have something special a lot of other people don't have and I have a good job that I enjoy and I haven't given up writing songs as you know and might try to sell them to some artists or bands but I would rather not be famous.

I like your idea about letting people discover a treasure trove of my unpublished written works after you are gone and there have been some famous writers in history who didn't become famous until after their deaths.

The thing that bugs me about celebrity is the literal feeling entitlement by the general public. The idea of virtually anyone being a "public figure" which somehow voids their right to privacy is absurd. It blows my mind that I've even gotten into debates with people over the idea that somehow the public deserves anything more from a famous person than what they're paid to do - whether that's to sing or act or play sports. There have been people who have been adamant that, just because these people have a noteworthy talent and get paid a premium for that, that they just become fair game and somehow don't deserve the same rights to privacy as any other private citizen. It just baffles me. The prime example of this being the paparazzi and the idea that somehow celebrities can have their pictures taken or video recorded without their consent; especially when, for anyone else you'd probably have to get a release. Like, we hold these people in such esteem and celebrate them, while simultaneously strip them of their humanity; and there are people who genuinely see nothing wrong with that. The exception would maybe be anyone working in high levels of public office, but only to the extent of transparency. And then it gets into a gray area with their families.

Social media does have the power to reach out to a lot of people and and I honestly lost count of how many artists and bands I discovered on Myspace back then that I wouldn't have known about until a lot later like Cassadee Pope who was originally in an Indie Rock band called Hey Monday before she won 'The Voice' and become a Country Music singer and she just released her new album this week and I am going to get it on I Tunes. Myspace was a really great place to be years ago if you were a music fan 'cause it was kinda like music central for independent artists and bands to promote their music to new fans and I am still surprised over how it fell apart and knockoff sites took all the fame.
