PhonoBrainer Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Me too! Probably the best kind of fame. You can still go to the store and buy milk. I hope you are in good health and enjoying what little obscurity still remains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 What good does it do you to be famous when you're dead? I guess that's why Elvis Presley faked his death, gained a lot of weight, went bald, got unrecognizable, and enjoyed his money. BTW, did you ever see the cult film Bubba Ho-Tep? It's an absurd and stupid little comedy, but it's pretty funny. From Wiki: Bubba Ho-Tep is a 2002 American comedy horror film written, co-produced and directed by Don Coscarelli. It stars Bruce Campbell as Sebastian Haff, a man residing in a nursing home who claims to be the real Elvis Presley. The film also stars Ossie Davis as Jack, a black man who claims to be John F. Kennedy, explaining that he was patched up after the assassination, dyed black, and abandoned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are probably quite glad that what they are now famous for didn't come out when they were alive. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I've been told a few times that I could have been much better in certain sporting endeavors had I embraced the fan focus that comes with it. I had no desire for fame so that was that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
