I got a very frantic phone call from my friend Diana after lunch today. She was crushed that her Lady GaGa concert had been cancelled/postponed. What was funny was how self righteous she was when she told me she had writted to Perez Hilton to bash the singer for her lack fo devotion to her fans. Fact is we live in a society where our culture is bought and sold as though it is a commodity. Films, DVD's, concert tickets, movies, CD's, downloads are our access tot he culture we call our own. How do celebrities get away with it? We go to a restaraunt, sit down and order food witht he intent of eating and the expectation that the service we pay for will be provided in at least some sory of satisfactory manner. We would be astonished if the experience was any different, and would more than likely never return to eat there again. With celebrities, we go back for more every time. In and out of rehab, problems with the law, social justive issues, crappy CD's, missed concerts are no deterrant for the relationship people share with their celebrity 'pals'.
Wild.
