Once a thread gets going it often starts deviating from the initial point. It began as a response to a post that was a paroxysm of joy that the “famous” guys got out, but without the slightest mention of all the “nameless” ones who escaped. Our celebrity culture has evidently gotten to the point that people somehow think that it is more important that celebrities got out than the others. In some ways I think that it is so ingrained that people aren’t even conscious that they do it. Now I’ve been told I’m “un-American”. I don’t regard the members of this band, or the Kardashians, for that matter, as especially important, so perhaps I am. I know that isn’t your point.
