Autobiography of a Nineties Celebrity
In the used bookstore I came across yet another autobiography of a celebrity I didn’t recognize
This particular one was written by a celebrity who was apparently big time
Twenty-five years ago
As I write this, I don’t recall the name of the author
But I don’t think I can forget his introductory remarks featured on the back cover
Where he lamented of being in the spotlight and everyone knowing him, photographers following him hoping to catch his sight
I read it and wondered, “Who in the 773H is this guy?”
I asked around and nobody else could recall, either.
If he walked into the store I could look at him and see just another customer.
In a way, it’s a little sad to see fame come and gone so fast, not passing time’s test.
But if he didn’t like it much, anyway, he got what he wanted, I guess.
