So much passes for substance when it’s really built on pillars of sand. Take the fixation on celebrity, for example. The majority of the Birthdays Today in the local paper are those of actors, entertainers.
The Met Gala just happened and the pics of all the Who’s Who are nothing if not ridiculous. Sorry, but this doesn’t rise to the level of needed diversion. It’s just shameful, gaudy, embarrassing excess and ego feeding, along with outlandishly expensive outfits that make one either laugh or cry. More self-indulgent and “look at me” than the red (or beige) carpet walk at the Oscars.
Meanwhile, the world burns and people starve. I hope there’s a good cause involved.
