I think being nice to people is really nice. As Mammy Yokum says "Good is better than Evil because it's nicer." The whole transaction between Fan and Artist is tilted toward niceness, even if it isn't heartfelt. The Fan pays the bills for the Artist -- no fans, and the Artist is back to being a schlub who loads bakery trucks and gets yelled at by his girlfriend for being a worthless twat. So the Artist has a powerful incentive to make everyone who strikes up a conversation feel, at least for 30 seconds, like the Artist is his or her Friend. Is this whole thread based just a little bit on Brushes with Fame one-up-manship? Well, when I was 14, Dizzy Gillespie dripped spit out of his horn on my shoe. Got ya all in check. And I met Mr. Greenjeans from Captain Kangaroo. He was a really nice guy! kent williams -- xxxx@xxxxxx.xxx
