2000 Man,
"He sounds like a bit of an artiste to me. I hope his characters don't come to life and cause him harm."
That line set me LOL-ing. In fact, I felt so light after reading it I was meeting friends downtown for lunch and told them the tale of this fellow and his success (and I don't think I mentioned here that he has one of those fake pretentious accents -- do you know anyone like that? they move to the States usually from the UK when they're 3 and sound like they're, oh, how do you say, so very er unaccustomed with this American English? they're always calling people "Mate" and saying "brilliant" and "cheers"). So, I re-enacted when he roared at me with grande mal fury, his accent blazing (sounds a bit like Sean Connery) "do you have any IDEA how DANGEROUS these people are!?!?" and my friends at lunch were belly-laughing, and started riffing on the whole thing, having him say other things in the fake accent.
So, it ended in hilarity. And it was your post that turned me around on that. Thank you.
And that Dexateens song....wow. Totally spot-on.
And you know what? I can handle the alone and happy part. Thanks again.
I don't really know anyone famous. I know some people that did okay in bands or in promotion and a few writers that write stuff for magazines or the crap I'm interested in. No one that's ever done anything MASSIVE, and they don't seem to care because they do what makes them happy.
Your ex reminds me of a line from a Dexateens song that I thought was well put:
What you need is somebody to love you
What you got is somebody to touch
Till you find yourself alone and happy
It ain't ever gonna add up to much
It sounds to me like you can handle the alone and happy part. It seems like that's out of his grasp to me.
