It's no wonder the rock-star archetype succeeds so mightily. We are all rock stars.

We all burn and burn, in a desperate world of unearthly beauties and dangers, struggling against our duties to be ourselves and ultimately find a peace that arrives too late and for not long enough.

But this is engineered theatre. This is all a metaphor. Life is truly better than this. It is so easy to get sucked into a world of phantoms.
