My response---------
Firstly, so-called "fame" is way overrated. Or, in the classic words of
my son, Clint when he was a fiesty age of 19........"dad, if you are so
damned smart and famous, why ain't we rich!" I laughed at his truth then and
am still laughing today at his statement. Fame is little more than stealth
vanity.
