Do you want to be famous?

I've been asked for my autograph twice... I have to be honest, it was quite a thrill and I'd be happy to be asked a million times more! :D
 
I hate it when thread titles insert bad songs into my head. :(

But at least with the miracle of modern technology, I get to inflict them on you too.

I don't really wouldn't want to have fame and vast instant recognition among the masses. Unless it was accompanied by widespread fear & obeisance, of course.... :devil:
 
I just want what everybody else wants; an honest day's work for an honest week's pay.

More thread related music.
Not really, if people were paying attention.

I never said anything about being rich.

Being famous does not necessarily have anything to do with your income. Maybe you're a really famous hobo, and all other hobos around the world have heard of you.
 
I'd want to be TV famous, only for the way women drop their panties for you if you're on TV. It's remarkable (and, to be honest, a little pathetic), the way tons of attractive women who will sleep with you with LITTLE TO NO assertive effort on your part, only because you're famous.
 
I wouldn't want to be so famous that I need bodyguards, but I wouldn't mind being relatively well known for my writing. :cool:
 
Yes. Right now I have some "Fame", but in certain circles. I created and run a couple popular sites in the film score community, and I've interviewed a dozen or moe composers, including:

David Shire
Gabriel Yared
Ken Thorne


And interviews with Jerrold Immel ("Dalls", "Knots Landing", "Gunsmoke", more...), John Parker ("Gunsmoke", "CHiPs", "Dallas", many more...) and Jay Chattaway (all the Trek spin-offs), to be published hopefully in the next two to three weeks.
 
I thought about this when I started writing. And after getting a little local fame with the paper (for good and bad) and a little taste of being known as a "face" as freelancer covering local and related state election issues, I realized: I don't like it. I actually like being able just to do my thing and no one know or give a flying fuck about what I wrote and the why.

That's why, now, anything I submit for sale is under a penname and I have a PO Box 3 counties over and my "private" number is a Tracfone that is call forwarded to my real number.
