Over the years stars and superstars have come and gone. Some endure most burn out sooner than later. In pain, as we've seen, the younger they are the more vulnerable they become.
If there was a Coping Mechanism, organised by their industries, rooted in community and fully embraced by family, most will have a great run of career and life. For example, couldn't we have preserved the Michael Jackson and Mike Tyson mystique? How did we fare with Madonna and Whitney Houston? And Fela Anikulapo Kuti? And Bob Marley? And Muhammad Ali?
The tragedy of Anna Nicole Smith is too fresh in our minds. Let's save the prodigious Britney now before it be too late! All around her should step up to be counted.
This self-demystification and self-destruct bug has plagued many, is haunting more and will not be wished away without a fight. We see it in stars from music to sport to fashion to geeks and whiz kids everywhere. It is a pandemic of sorts. We must tame it, defeat it promptly!
We must protect our stars, superstars, icons and legends the way we defend our lands and our monuments. We must do all we can. We must do so now!!
Yes. And let's start with sweet Britney Spears.
