I'm hearing an awful lot of talk about everything but my songs and laughs. As long as I'm not being paid for all this hard work, I don't think it's fair for others to discuss my appearance or charisma or anything irrelevant to my work. It's impolite. People get excited when they hear that someone is going to be playing stadiums. And a man can be an ordinary Joe one day and wake up the next day to a stadium gig. But until people know for sure that he will be playing stadiums and making a pile of money and partying with celebrities, they seem to go out of their way to paint an unflattering portrait of him. I don't expect girls to scream for me now. But I would expect them to get at least as excited over me as they did over that band if, say, I sued NBC for a billion dollars and started my own music label.
I didn't want to be a star, remember? I tried to walk away from it. But I was forced to return to my music to save my reputation as an artist when everyone in the world hated me and thought I had no talent. Now I'm stuck with all these songs and blogs and I can't erase them. I never wanted to be a star, but perhaps it is my inescapable destiny.
