Art may imitate life, but life imitates TV. [/b]
And not just The Apprentice.
When I need to wipe my face
I use the back of my hand
And I like to take up space just because I can
And I use my dress to wipe up my drink
I care less and less what people think
Still, not less than I do.
Goldfish have no memory
I guess their lives are much like mine
And the little plastic castle
Is a surprise everytime
Do you think that’s true? About the goldfish?
Pop stardom is not very compelling. I’m much more interested in a relationship between performer and audience that is of equals. I came up through folk music, and there’s no pomp and circumstance to the performance. There’s no, like, ‘I’ll be the rock star, you be the adulating fan.’
No pop star bullshit here, right?
But as bad as I am, I’m proud of the fact that I’m worse than I seem.
We’ll need particulars of course.
When you grow up surrounded by willful ignorance, you have to believe that mercy has it’s own country and that it’s round and borderless.
Well, let’s just say it sounds like it’s true.
