This is what Sean Lennon had to say:”I have a fear of fame, as my therapist would tell you. But I’m a musician first and foremost. I look like my dad. I remember someone saying I was trying to look like my dad because I was wearing glasses. Can you believe that? I’m blind without them. People look at me and they see my dad. They think I’m trying to be famous or something, which is completely misguided. Ultimately people seem to think that being John Lennon’s son is a huge weight around my neck but they don’t consider for a second how inspiring that might be and how proud I am to have this name.”
The thing is, fame can kill ya and it killed John. It also killed Rebecca Schaeffer, the ctress from the “My Name Is Sam” who was shot dead by a stalker. If somebody kills you because they either love or hate you, you are equally dead.
But it is like being hit by lighning. There are many nightmares to being famous, in an interview with Rolling Stone recently, Eminem discussed his inability to go shopping in public, but death through murder is just a crap shoot. It never happens unless it happens.
