One surprise after another, day after day. Forgotten rock stars in search of that Attention Junkie fix, jump into the toilet bowl media (doing the backstroke) to let everyone know how close they were and how much they loved a now dead guitar player. Morons talk about him now 'jamming with Hendrix'. Sensitive mystics, in a perpetual Black Sabbath retrospective, talk about how they're going to see him, when they pass on. Yeah... you bet.
I imagine that opening paragraph might rankle some and the reason would be, as the reason ALWAYS is... Attachment and Investment. Just about everyone, temporarily trapped on the material plane, is the victim of their own attachments and investments in the attachments. Most of the time, with celebrity fascination, the one attached has never met the celebrity, nor has much of an idea what the celebrity is like. Most of the time those celebrities are not very nice people. This is something I have personally verified, having the misfortune of encountering not a few in my passage.
As is the case with MANY celebrities, the lengths you have to go to, to become one, and the lengths you have to go to, to remain one, militate against your being a very nice person. It DOESN'T come with the territory.
