A long time ago, in a job (thankfully) far far away I had to have a fair bit of interaction with famous people.
Some of them are crazy - one of the artists (now dead) demanded "more goat heads" on his project. This was an actual client request.
I still do take pride in getting one of the most difficult clients in the roster to admit we did a "good job".
Famous people can be weird, and some do really exist in their own special bubble.
- raverbashing 8y agoTheir recklessness is usually what makes them "good" (in the sense of public appealing) artists. There are exceptions, surely. It makes sense that they behave this way, but it is certainly annoying for those who have to deal directly with this.
- elgenie 8y agoWealth/power/fame don't change who people are, they just allow them to express it unconstrained. For fame and fortune as an artist, though, the chances of "making it" are so remote that the proportion of sober and rational people who choose to take the first steps down that path has to be rather low, and that of the ones that just keep going down the path even lower.
