Glory- really a terrible song

[Waiting For Everyman]

51. "everything done by a celebrity is admirable"

So true. It's a follower mentality, being unable to judge a thing on its own merits. And it is rampant today. It is self-perpetuating too, because the more consumers buy the celebrities' products, the bigger and wealthier celebrities they become, and thus, even more worthy of following than before. The end result, I've seen such celebrities termed "geniuses" here, which is such a joke.

Success =\= genius. In fact usually, it's the opposite: most real geniuses are unsung and little rewarded in their lifetimes.

People today think being famous is an achievement, in its own right, as if all of life revolves around the individual's quest to be noticed, taken to a mass scale. That strikes me as very infantile, but as noted, "to each his own". I guess. Or something.

Thanks for the quote, it perfectly fits.
