During our talk we started wondering, why is it that people support these stars who they've never met, but they can't support the guy who they grow up with? It seems that, the more you know about a person, the less interested you are by them. Maybe we're fascinated by what we don't know. So what do you guys think? Is what I'm saying true? Why can't we captivate our friends the way these stars can?
Because it's hard to take someone's art seriously when you know that they used to wet the bed up to the age of 10 and/or would cry when their mother would give them the wrong sandwiches.
