Noted on Today’s Walk: School of Fame
I walk past the School of Fame sign almost every day. And each time, I think, “What? Fame is its own vocation now?”
Seriously when did fame itself become something people aspire to? How did it become something you can go to school for, a skill to be taught and learned?
I can understand wanting to be an actor, maybe even a famous actor. But to just want to be famous?
Further down the sign it does list acting, singing, dancing, and modeling. But it seems that they are secondary, that the real goal is fame, that acting, singing, etc., are just ways to get there.
Clearly, I just don’t get it.
