Fame is just an ego trip

Earlier, I Xed over there:


She and I “follow” each other.  Just now, I saw Mark Knopfler’s “short” on fame:


Methinks he laid it out well … the live song which many remember was the Alchemy tour version of Sultans … I saw a reaction video to it and to my mind, everything she said was right … everyone was feeding off the others to make it one of the greatest performances ever:

 

Remember she’s probably a Millennial/early Gen Z.  The major thing is to be appreciated for doing good work … that’s all it is. People carry on about “followers” on X … who needs numbers, seriously? Look, any female can do an Only Fans thing for hundreds of thousands, any male can lust for power, being a big hitter = egotist plus.  

Reiterating … who needs it?  A couple of dozen people liking your work … that’s everything … I’m thinking Julia thinks the same, Grandpa dropping in now and then. There are people reading here for this wunnerful gal, there are a few here on my behalf, some following Mike’s saga. Some for the blog itself, which started in 2012.

Julia and I have surprised some how we get along, being different types. That’s the buzz … and our readers are important … that’s it … we don’t want OoL to fade away.

  1. I too have never fretted about numbers of followers - If I reach one person only, that's sufficient.
