Would you rather be rich or famous? Why?
Submitted by Chris Vaughn.

Argentina time? I never aspired to be rich nor famous were the words of Sinead O'Connor "though to the world it may have seemed it was all that I wanted." How did Sinead get those scars on her head one may ask? From being "rich and famous". Axes are such nasty business. "Rich and Famous" is red room time as Marnie would put it. It is time for axes. It is time for abductions. It is time to pick off the floor of the earth little baby fingers axed off by maniacs. It is to be Paul McCarthy picked apart by his so called second wives and friends and court officials posing as friends and reporters who must make a living at being rich and famous. Ask the question to Paul? Ask the question to his first wife who had a famous mother and in one day woke up after an accident to find a leg missing without the permission of the parents. A leg removed not by hospital staff or so it is said. To be rich and famous one must expect the unexpected. The many forms of interrogation. The many forms of blackmail. The many forms of extortion.
Bobby Darin wanted to be rich and famous and he never felt that he made it as rich and famous. He always felt that he was too short, too pudgy, too wrinkled, too unorganized and, obviously, too ill. Elvis had it all "except the girl" who didn't want any of it. Or, so sang the famous Peter Gabriel. There were three Peter Gabriels, weren't there? To be rich and famous one runs the risk of being overtaken by drugs, thieves, managers and copyright scam artists.
To be rich and famous one must be willing to lose one's true identity and hide behind a series of faces as scam artists kill off each character in a bid for clothes, perfumes and bank accounts. Imagine someone as famous as Janis Joplin. Imagine that she had a house in LA...a modest home with only two male callers...Jim Morrison and Andy Williams. Imagine that reporters hire a lookalike to send out in a very small concert. A lookalike that ends up dead in a hotel. Imagine that reporters lie and pronounce to the world that Janis Joplin was found dead in a hotel from a drug overdose. Imagine being Janis Joplin and going back to your own paid off mortgage house to find out that scam artists have given the house to the Joplin parents who never existed. Imagine all the contents being placed on the yard by do gooders who are "just helping the family" and watching as this one takes the scarf, this one a record, and like mice, rodents, ants and cockroaches it's all gone compliments of a Bible house. And, it is all for free.
Imagine being a pregnant Sharon Tate hanging from a rope in a house owned by an understudy. A second Sharon Tate hangs outside from a rope strung over a tree branch shot six times by a man who had his penis almost bit off within the first few moments of the house invasion. Her name was Mrs. Chapman. And, bit by bit, parts of the floor is pulled up by fans and the land is made way to a Kingdom Hall.
Imagine being beaten  as was Miss Foldger. And, then having to go to one's own company to sell it and rebuy it under an assumed name expecting scam artists to arrive with phoney relatives in a bid to inherit the Foldger fortune? The "just helping the family" people. Imagine Mrs. Chapman watching  and seeing things through her eyes as polite well dressed, short haired people with clean fingernails and crisp shirts and dresses dine in the finest restaurants after hand picking so called hippies to be the fall guys. And, who are they dining with? The judge from the Sharon Tate trial. Both Sharon Tates being the biggest losers of all. Except nuns never really lose do they? The Sharon Tate hanging outside in the tree was indeed a nun running away from a husband, looking for a husband, finding God and religion and knowing that being a nun doesn't work or so it may seem. And, her name was Sinead O'Connor.
Being rich and famous is best described by Sinead in the song "Blood of Eden". In the video of the song there is a male and a female. He is dying and cannot get insurance. She was raped and beaten with an ax, thus, she weds in red and Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin adopt out the surrogate babies that didn't belong to them after they were beaten by an ax as well. The male and female on the record that spins around are Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee....composers for almost a thousand songs between the two of them along with Jerry Lee Lewis, Bobby Darin's real father. So much music and the river turns to blood. That is what it means to be rich and famous. And, it is so exciting, isn't it? To chase a man...to chase a woman...to behead children?
Ask Julie Andrews if the fans thought it was exciting to chase her up a tree and set it on fire?
Ask Audrey Hepburn if she thought that Montreal fans thought it was fun to chase her and to charge her falsely with assaulting their husbands defending herself?
Ask Leann Rimes if she enjoyed her stay at San Quentin in 1982?
Ask a Portuguese nun if she thought her being beaten to death because scam artists thought she was Estelle Parsons was a fun thing? What was it they did to her? Did they cut out her tongue so they could shove their penis down her throat further? Isn't that a funny thing? Did they cut off both her hands so she couldn't use the telephone? Did they remove both her eyes? "We are here to help the family"....Estelle Parsons was told via the CIA. Estelle Parsons was a script writer, musician and author. She never cut a cheque for herself. All of her monies were tied up with schools for the blind, food to food banks, and FEMA. Yet, there she held in her hand a list of names that accused a Portuguese nun for "stealing monies" from movies and actors that ran into the millions. Why didn't people think that Estelle wasn't suppose to be paid? But, she never took any money. All her money was handled by studio executives ordered to send the monies into charities as described.
I believe in Jesus. I believe in Jehovah. I believe in a day of execution. That is what I believe in. And, on that day, it will be as Jesus himself put it, "easier for a camel to get through an eye of a needle than for a rich man to inherit the kingdom". They, won't be resurrected.
