The Last Days of Celebrity

Celebrities are normal people.
We’re sitting around the office talking about these people,
Andy Kaufmann, Tony Danza, Jim Carrey, Prince
Like we know them.
Just people.
Prince is from Milwaukee.

Broadcast Media made them into Stars,
Physical scarcity
Burning their faces and names into celluloid and print.
And keeping the dumb consumers out.
But they’re just people.
Too

Net Media will make them marginal
As the Mass breaks down into comfortable
little
Tribes

The greatest Celebrity in my life is my little cousin Anuka.
I’d like to see his next Video.
