“I don’t expect celebrities to agree with me on everything, but I also don’t care for politics to invade my music (even when I agree with the sentiment).”
(Chris Queen – PJ Media) Sometimes, encounters with celebrities we admire can disappoint us. My friend and colleague Sarah Anderson told me a story about meeting Atlanta Braves legend Chipper Jones at an autograph-signing event years ago.
“First of all, he’s sitting at the table wearing sunglasses,” Sarah told me. “And when you speak to him, he doesn’t respond. And when you go around the table to take a pic of him, he doesn’t even look up at the camera. just stares at the ground or continues signing things. So I have a nice picture of myself standing next to Chipper Jones, ignoring me.”
But there’s a deeper kind of disappointment that can show up years later. Call it disillusionment. Here’s my celebrity disillusionment story from this week.
