Fifteen Minutes of Fame

by Thompson

Bob Dylan’s hats mean more to me than a requited lust for fame. On our screens over the summer months, with it’s logo slapped obnoxiously onto the water cooler - covering more pressing concerns. As people rant and rave, the so called stars of the show are prominent for a matter of days. In their fifteen minutes of fame they become better recognised than a man called Dave. Some are hated for things they have said or done. trending on twitter and being memed from day one. But as the winter solace rolls into place Everyone forgets the familiar face that pranced and clapped on morning TV What was his name again who was he? What once was a Dave is more like a Huxley or Mort. He was far too easy to replace, when fame hit abort.
