I Don't Get It

Okay, here's one I don't get...

I seriously don't understand being a "fan" and the entire "cult of celebrity" thing. Sure, there are authors I enjoy, singers I like to listen to, actors that I think are particularly talented, shows that I enjoy...

What I don't "get" are the (what feels to me like) fixations that so many people have on celebrities.... to follow and want to hear about their personal lives, want pictures and autographs....stuff like that.

Maybe it's something missing in me....cuz I've never been a fan of a team either...
