Tortured artist or Tortured by fame?

[emmelinemay]

Last week I mentioned my pondering on the paths of destruction so many artists seem to go down, and wondered whether they were damaged because they were famous and, or famous because they were damaged.

Synchronicity calling. Why rock and roll stars die young.

It's been proved by SCIENCE, people. And Science is neva rong. Rite?

I started replying, as I've been in a state of high dudgen about this story since I read it yesterday, but it all got a bit ranty and long so I made a post out of it here if anyone's interested.

it's a very good rant :)

You made some really interesting points i'm still pondering on!

Your post for some reason think of how cross i was when that whole Kate Moss thing happened, all the media and fashion industry dropping her, and then re-embracing her after her 'rehabilitation'. It's all such hypocritical bollocks! If most of the fashion industry and journalist industry aren't all equally into coke, i'm a monkey's bum.
