The Desire to be Famous?

I always have found this topic to be quite interesting. Whilst many people all over the world seem to have the desire to see their name in bright twinkling lights, I do not share the same opinion. Don't get me wrong, I would like to be well known as a singer/songwriter but the thought of having no privacy, to the extent where you can't even go to the shops by yourself does not appeal to me in the slightest. Of course, everyone would like to make a decent amount of money from making music. In the current climate that is becoming harder and harder to do. Artists or celebrities who make decent money tend to do so through well designed commercial videos, endorsements, increased synergy across various social media platforms, adverts for various mechanise and large sell-out concerts. In order to get oneself there, an awful lot of carefully contrived marketing has to be done. Also the knowledge that, especially if you have become a celebrity from an early age, that you are unable to tell who is wanting to spend time with you for you, and who is attracted the fame, (potential) fortune and everything that goes with it. 

Thought for the day :)
