Rock stars are people too
~.: A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to see Family Force 5 play the 9:30 CLUB, and afterwards got to meet them, get hugs, pictures, and autographs, and I was struck by how, well, normal they are. I'm baffled by the worship that stars get just because everyone knows their name. Really, it's just like high school -- a popularity contest. But they're regular people, with regular lives. So their jobs happen to have more publicity than others. So everyone knows their names (or stage names). They still have families, wants, needs ... sickness.
~.: I'm reminded again by how regular these people are by Fatty's (the bassist for Family Force 5, and the brother of both Crouton and Soul Glow) current illness. It's not just a measly cold, either. Kidney failure. Very serious, and very scary. And the effect it's having on his family is pretty heavy too.
~.: Anyway, I guess my point is that these guys are great musicians and artists, but they're just normal people, and just as much in need of prayer when things go wrong as anyone else. Please keep the Olds family in your prayers and thoughts, especially Fatty (whose real name I recently learned is Josh).
