“The new one demands warmer and more intimate personas”
I guess you’re right that the 80’s was the peak era for rock-god aloofness, and especially, when compared to the relationship between web-savvy musician today and their audience it is a new world – one in which a musician who made short movies about themselves as *savior* to entire civilizations would be incomprehensible – although, of all the things I think may be on the wane, I don’t that celebrity aloofness is in any real danger in world where having a Twitter account passes for “intimacy”
but yea, fucking circus-freak joke is right.
ftr, we don’t how much of “World” was him vs. Ritchie.
