When it comes to movie stars, famous singers and bands I've never
understood going crazy over getting autographs etc....
Sure I'd love to meet and have a conversation with certain famous people because they've lived interesting lives or have knowledge I could learn from, but to want a lock of their hair, autograph, piece of clothing or swoon just to get a glimpse of them - I don't understand. They are just people. I feel like I am in the minority feeling this way. I know people who have stood in line for 4 hours just to get an autograph from a movie star. I'm not judging them - I just don't get it.
I feel exactly the same way. For instance, if professional athletes counted on people like me for their salaries, they'd be sh#t out of luck. Years ago, when the Bears had a good team, my neighbor had 50 yard line season tickets. He asked if my son, and myself would like to go to the game on Sunday. I told him we had soccer, and I had to coach.....he said have your assisant coach the team. I told him it was my obligation, and besides, I wouldn't miss one of my kids games for 100 bears games...........he was at a loss for words, he couldn't comprehend, that I would turn down these tickets for any reason......I always felt sorry for Elvis......he couldn't do anything or go anywhere, because of the goofy people of which you speak.......I don't think you're in the minority
