The Documentary premieres in Aspen in 10 days and I can't wait to hear the feedback about it from ----. I wish so badly I could go there; why can't I be rich and famous and powerful? I just want it for the perks like this, you know. Not that I don't get enough perks just from being charming and delightful (oh, humour me), but, man, do I want to see this Documentary. What helps me is thinking of it as sort of a "class" thing; it's modern-day feudalism. The Rich and Famous class let us worship and exault them; in return, we work till the fields of adoration and spend all of our money to see them and sweat and sigh and wish that WE could be Rich and Famous; not all of us, of course, but just "me in particular". We're perfectly happy having the system as it is, we just wish that WE weren't fan/serfs. I just hope that one day us peasants get to see The Documentary, too. For some reason, I feel proud of the success of The Tour. As if I had a hand in it. And, well, I'm acquainted with those who DID have a hand in it (an unsung hero or two, if you will) and I AM proud of THEM. And where would the tour have been without the fans? Oh, Ade, finish your book. The world must become familiar with the contribution of Fans. |
