My nephew is fairly famous in the UK (in a non-musical context)- lots of results on Google, a page in the IMDB. recognised in the street, and now has an expensive house on the Thames and a new Porsche. However, he now ignores the rest of his family, reduces his mother to tears when she has to admit that he never returns her 'phone calls, and has never acknowledged a lot of work and time I put into a personal favour to him. So the devil's pox on fame if that's what it does to you.

Hugs and kisses,

Rusty

(My next-door neighbour used to wash the Hollies' shirts, I've met Les Paul, and I once opened for Gordon Giltrap. Damn, I AM famous after all!)
