The Tail of Fame
An artist who seek fame is like a dog chasing his own tail who,when he captures it,
dose not know what else to do but to continue chasing it.The cruelty of success is that it often leads those who seek such success to participate in their own destru-
ction.
"Don't quit your day job!"is advice frequently given by understandably pessimisticfamily members and friends to a budding artist who is trying hard to succeed.The con-
squent of fame is difficult at best,and many end up emotionally if not finacially ba-nkrupt.Still ,impure motives such as the desire for worshiping fans and praise from p-eers may spur the artist on.The lure of drowning in fame's imperial glory is not easi-ly resisted.
