Chapter 1:
Let's face it. We all want to be Rockstars. We all want the high-bulb of the spotlight to be shining on us all the time, wherever we go. We all want to take a drag of the cigarette, and become so high on the thoughts of fame, fast cars, booze, babes and drugs and never come down. No matter how much you deny it, you cannot help yourself for the thirst of fame. Even if it is just one measly drop from the bottom of the bottle, we crave it, like it's our last will of survival. We love the fame, but that doesn't necasserily amke all of us bad people.
We try and make ourselves look like heroes. Basking the cape of 'Saviour' or 'God'. Some of us take it as a privelige, but in the end, most of us just do it to keep the media monkey off our fucking backs. You could be the most happy-go-lucky man on the entire face of gods 'slowly crumbling' green earth, but all it takes is one measly mistake and the media will hold it against you like the barrel of loaded gun right against your fucking temple. One more word spoken and then BOOM! TMZ, E! and all those fucked up news shows are behind the gun, the trigger is pulled on your career, and you come crashing down faster than a freight train without any brakes.
How do I know this? Well it's simple. I've lived it, i've experienced it, I've breathed it. I've seen careers rise up from the ground quickly and watched them go down in flames just as fast. It happens everyday. And is each day goes on, the flame could get ever so closer to you. So don't add fuel to the already burning fire, or you too may burn yourself alive.
None of us are perfect, some of us just want to do what we have aspired to do since the days we first picked up an instrument or the day we first heard a record that changed our lives.. Some of us just seek the rewards of being famous, and others just do it and ever so slowly ruin themselves and others. But the one common pact all of us share, wether you have issue's in the media, spend your days smoking chronic and listening to Zepplin or just an all around decent guy who loves to play music for people, we all share the same dream. We're Rockstars, and no-one can take that from us.
