Yeah, we did that.
I'm doing one right now on the similarity of the new left of the 1970s and the way that they kind of glommed on to John Lennon and the way that the new right kind of glommed on to Kanye West a few years ago, kind of comparing Groypers with the Yippies and Abbie Hoffman with Nick Fuentes.
There's a picture of Abbie Hoffman where he looks exactly like Nick Fuentes pointing directly at a camera.
that is eerie.
And so I'm doing a thing right now about how these countercultural or subculture things, they tend to repeat.
Well, it's the same thing in music.
People want certain kinds of figures, and they want certain kinds of things to identify with.
Huh?
It's good you don't know him.
That's how you get out of the way.
Well, that's something one of my favorite writers, Eric Hopper, talked about where he's like, the people you know can almost cast you as something like they're a director, a casting director.
I love that you say casting because this is very, this is something I'm very interested in.
Well, that's just it.
So yeah, the way other people's perception of you can turn you into something because they want you to be that thing.
I mean, as a rock star, I was talking to my friend Jake about this last night because he's worked as a Hollywood writer for a long time.
And we were talking, he was talking about egos and the way certain people can...
get bad attitudes, and we were saying, I know this a little bit from my grandfather, but also just from the world of publicity, the way other people want you to be a certain jerky rock star, not to take the onus off of bad behavior, but the way that people in your circle want you to be this big authority figure, and they want you to not be a pushover,
or they want you to be glam, ends up encouraging people potentially to take on the kind of bad attitudes they wouldn't otherwise have because people in their circle are like, come on, I'm not dating, you know, Billy Corgan, the regular dude.
I'm dating a rock star.
Don't let them talk to you that way.
