I totally agree with all of that. The only part I find truly unbelievable is that someone would want the fame again. If I had those resources and wanted to disappear, I'd get the surgery, but I'd much prefer to play puppeteer, and walk around as a nobody.

But then again, maybe I don't understand the mind of the ultra-famous. Scratch that, I know I don't understand them. Maybe a new identity is some next-level performance art for these guys. Hell, maybe its a hardcore version of how famous writers will use a new pen name so they can get some honest feedback.

Either way, I think we can agree that its far from the least likely thing that could happen, but I still find the idea of Kurt Cobain performing Love Game to be completely hilarious.

On a small tangent, I think celebs fake their deaths with surprising regularity. If someone tries to kill you, probably better to make them think they succeeded, no? John Lennon and Tupac come to mind. Lennon had no funeral, and his body was cremated. Tupac asked his bodyguard to ride in another car on the night of the shooting, and survived 6 days after the attack. Tupac was cremated the next day. Or maybe they both died, but I think I'd be more likely to play dead if I survived assassination.

I think I like you. We think in a very similar fashion.

I look forward to our future conversations!

Same to you! I just realized we have like 5 conversations going in different threads, lol. Oh the joys of small websites.

Until next time!
