#what do roman senators rock stars and real pirates have in common #i would love to write a magical realism psychological horror movie about a up-and-coming celebrity #in which the premise is that the more and more you garner a parasocial following #(i.e.#the more and more you are treated like a character instead of a real person)#the more you become subject to the rules of fiction and thus narrative fate #and the protagonist slowly but surely realizes that by becoming famous they’ve sold away their own ontology #//#this happened to my buddy roger waters #god. i need to find that sexy quote from pete townshend about how the music industry is perpetuated on human sacrifice
