I Serve Larry's Stick
I was just reading an article about Rivers on CNN.com and a little blurb at the bottom said he was on his last semester at Harvard. Maybe Bono will give the speech at his graduation.

Ha - well if you do, make sure not to piss him off or try to change him - he's not known for being a nice or normal person at all. The Rolling Stone story about him was scary.

clarityat3am said:What's the definition of normal anyway? I don't think it's remotely possible to be normal and a musician for one.
And, yeah, I'm sure celibacy has made him nicer.

Unfortunately the excerpt cut out the weirdest parts. He's an intense dude. I'm not judging tho - was just warning you in case you meant him and.. you know
~unforgettableFOXfire~ said:I think Rivers is refreshingly normal. Celebrities are all normal people; the only difference is that he makes no pretense about this, he simply is himself. Other celebs put on big dog and pony shows, buy huge mansions, get bodyguards posted outside everywhere, travel in limos with huge escorts and entrourages, etc... but for what? They're just normal people. Without stylists, makeup artists, writers, publicists, drivers, chefs, etc they'd all be Joe Normal living like you or me. Celebrity is horseshit, really. It sickens me that we idolize celebs, place them on a pedestal, and try to change ourselves into what they are - when what they are is a cheap, fabricated, empty image. Noone is perfect, and the people who seem to be are lying - pure and simple.
Who cares if Rivers is a little moody, indecisive, etc? Nobody goes around and nitpicks your habits and your life, or your behaviours. If you leave the cap off your toothpaste, noone is going to go batshit and decry you like some sort of a freak -- so if youre a celeb and don't fit the everything-in-its-place faux-perfection celebrity model, why would they decry you as a freak for that? That seems silly and pointless to me. So what if he didn't want to make time for Rolling Stone to do that interview, or a plethora of other things - just because he doesn't buy into the celebrity schtick there's something wrong with him? I don't buy it. Cobain hated that shit too, and he's been practically deified by the music-listening public - so what does that say? I think I'd be pretty safe in suggesting that it doesn't mean that Rivers is more of a freak than Cobain, cause Cobain was fucked up at times and not in harmless innocent ways like Rivers.
Personally, I wouldn't volunteer to spill my guts to a public who would twist my balls and say my life is a shambles if the doormat to my house was crooked, or (heaven forbid) spit on me if I had hobbies that didn't involve yachting, polo, and spending money on expensive girls to escort me around town and make me look important.
