³_VvIiCcIiOoUuSs PpAaSsSsIiOoNn_ ¢_VvIiCcIiOoUuSs PpAaSsSsIiOoNn_ ²+++ ²Editor's Note: This article is somewhat old, and should have been used in PROPAGANDA #5, at the time when I still was attached to the Propaganda-staff, but it seems like it's getting more and more out of date. I still like the contents of this article thoug, and thats why it'll be released here... ²+++ ..²Is a title of a song, ¹made by the Danish band; KASHMIR, but it's also the name of this articles. And what's in this article is quite diffrent from what's in the song. I could have called this song for.. Lick My Sores, or something like that. Cut the crap, and let's get going! ²JAMIE FAME FLAME, ¹witch also is a title by the very same same band, could also be mentioned in this article. You see I have selected to write about fame, infamous persons etc. Ohh, is it cool to be famous? Ofcause it is, but in this article I have selected to write of some of the backsides of the fame. And this article is NOT about, charts or something silly like that. In my oppinion it's MUCH more important, and for that sake more serious... ²YOU SEE, ¹when a person reach the fame-stage; it's normally because he (or maybe her) has DONE something to get so far, and is therefor, very likely, very respected - For his work, and For his person. You see if a so called 'Shithead' becomes famous, he will get down just as fast (You could take XTD, as an fine example. He is, as far as I'm informed, not very liked in Poland. Even if he got "the talet"). WHEN he is a respected person, people is kind of afraid (witch proberly is the wrong word, but I'm in lack of better) to get "in trouble" with him. Afraid for insulting him - Afraid, if he don't seem friendly enough to this caracter. Maybe this is a kind of exaggeration, but I hope that you all have got my point here. What I'm really moaning about is not that these people are respected; Actullay i find this as a very good sign. You see you can't possible build up a socity if all people are equal - Or treaded like they where. (Hi Colorbird, you see Communism don't really works) BUT many people overdo it, I means they do more than just respect the fellows; some even worship them. And it's here the mistake comes, in my oppinion. Because when somebody finally had the guts to attack him - the rest will follow. And not just attack him for relevant reasons, but use every chance they have to make him look bad, in the medias (eg. Diskmags). IT'S LIKE A TREND, sometimes the scene ain't very keen on hanging people out, sometimes they are VERY hook on it. But it's allways there, people just need someone to blame - And if you use famous persons you'll have a better time yourself. You know:"Wow, I'm VERY brave, I actullay dare to stand up and say that .... is ugly and smells like fish. Ain't I good?!" NO, certanly not! A recent example, witch came in my mind while a was(is) writting this article is the Helmet-case, for a very long time he was counted as the best editor ever.(and maybe still is?!) Then somebody broke the shell, and suddenly everybody - big as low - should write of how lame Helmet was, something came up; actullay everything came up from he liked Ace Of Base,(witch surely don't have anything with anything to do. That would be the same like kicking me from Passion because I'm blond.) to that he was MUCH too arrogant. Many well- known editors today have actullay lend (somebody would might called it to steal) more or less of his style. ²WE REALLY NEED A SCAPEGOAT IN THE SCENE! -But it's easier to select a wellknown person, it kind of makes us feel like we're some REAL BAD motherfuckers, who just know what's it all about.
