Haha i over analyze things all the time. But this i just don't get. Ok tons of people know who they are, they are richer than they should be, but they aren't any different from you and i. Well in some ways they are, but many they aren't.
The reason i got to thinking about this is, my immediate family is close friends with Tommy Cash, yes cash meaning related to Johnny Cash. He's actually the youngest brother of Johnny Cash. We are on top of that friends with every member of the Johnny Cash Show Band (his band who toured with him.) I see it as no big deal, they're just people! But when if i talk about it to people who don't know that we are friends with they they are like ohmygosh thats SO cool! idk maybe i don't see the cool side of it cause they just act like normal people to me and my family. They don't pull rank and act like you and I. I know their famous and what not, but whenever we are visiting them, or they're visiting us or we're doing show's with Tommy i don't see it as "ohmygosh i'm in the presence of someone famous" i just see it as kicking back and having a fun time laughing, making music, and hearing old stories. They only time i really think i get the whole ohmy their famous deal in my head is when i find out i'm doing a show with one of them. I've opened for Tommy at one of his concerts on Oklahoma, knowing i was going to be doing so only 15 minutes before the show, i think that was really the only time i had the "ohmy famous person" mindset. Then back about ehh 2 months ago my dad got an email from Tommy telling my dad to tell me that next show out in OK or that area, he wants to do a DUET with ME! That was totally awesome, and i got that whole "ohmy famous person" mindset again. But idk being around Tommy and the band members seems no different to me than hanging out at a bluegrass festival with my dad picking with a bunch of old people. haha Like we go down to Austin several times a year and visit Earl Poole Ball, who was Johnny's only piano player, and for 25 years, and its one of those oh we're going to see "grandpa" kind of deals. Haha idk i just had to write this out. I was talking about it the other day when someone was talking about the movie Walk the Line and i naturally started pointing out everything that was incorrect in the movie, which led to the whole story about us knowing the family and band and they flipped out in amazement. Idk i just don't see the big deal of it.
