I watched a film earlier about a musician who was kidnapped by an obsessed fan. I took it as a commentary on the dark side of fame.
When a person is well known,putting themselves out there for "mass consumption" as it were, they...

I've been chatting with @CRK109 about Monet's kitchen being preserved for posterity. I said I didn't think I'd ever be famous enough for my kitchen to be preserved. Probably many famous people never expected that objects and...

I have had this happen on two occasions. I'm not talking about people like famous entertainers, although they certainly would count. And I'm not talking about political funder raisers where you are at one table in a large room...
