We are so star struck by celebrities who sometimes forget that they are real people. They are real people, right?
The truth is it's a bit hard to say. We never see them out of bed in the morning. We never see them lunch or another meal. If they leave home to shop so most likely they are so heavily disguised, we do not recognize all the same. We certainly never see them take their children to school. Most likely, they are servants of rope. And God knows we never see them go to sleep at night. It looks like celebrities are up to 24 hours a day, especially when many TV stars strip for 16 hours a day episode of your favorite show.
No, what we see, it does not really look like celebrities are real people at all. They are a kind of plastic, celluloid heroes, free of tears, hunger, thirst, fear, and almost all the feelings that we so take for granted. In the 1970s came out with a song called The Kinks "Celluloid Heroes". Ray Davies sings about those poor souls who suffered and struggled for fame. Some succeeded and some how a little vain. But Celluloid Heroes, he has so beautifully said, "never felt any pain. Celluloid heroes never die. "
This is the last line is further proof that celebrities are not real people at all. Every day on our televisions, we see shows with stars that have disappeared long ago, like "All in the Family" with Carol Conner O ', who died recently. But it is there, still sitting in this chair and still calling Edith a jerk. While there can be more, if ever. Did you know that Conner Carol O 'has lost a child because of drugs? Never really on it.
We also look at "Chico and the Man," with Freddie Prinze replays. Now he was a talented man who had everything to live. Maybe he thought it was real. Or maybe he realized how true it was when he took his own life just at the apex of his popularity. Today, his son, Freddie Prinze Jr., making appearances on "Boston Legal" as the son of Denny Crane, who is really her son, only to pretend to be his son. Denny Crane William Shatner. He is still alive, but many people stared in "Star Trek" has gone, people like DeForest Kelley, who played Dr. McCoy and James Doohan who played "Scottie". Do you think Shatner feels his own mortality many of his friends or forwards expire?
But there is still room on our screens, always smiling, always telling jokes that are always acting, always singing, or what they do. For us it's all they do. Not real life, no sorrow, no joy, no boring days, nothing that we ordinary people experience every day. So of course, celebrities are not real people.
Or maybe we should take the time to ask.
