I found out the hard way, it's no use being
a celebrity who tries to hide from your roots. The longer you keep the
secret, the harder it is to bear when reality actually smacks you in the
face. I'm talking about the " dreaded " stage name. When your agent first
looks at you and says " we're going to have to do something with the name,
how about Britney Spears, Ozzy Osbourne Or Freddy Star? "
And your thinking
why? have I picked the right one? So you sleep on it and ring him
tomorrow, only to find that he's printed your publicity shots and your
cheesy new stage name in the " Sheffield Mercury " [ South yorkshire's
guide to clubland ], and entered you in all manner of embarrassing competitions
and minor TV shows. . .
People who really get up my nose are celebrities who purposefully change their name, at the drop of a hat to try to add a bit of Sparkle or Finesse, to what would otherwise be a down to earth persona.
IT DOESN'T WORK
Real superstars have the Class and Dignity to keep their original names, and it adds to their persona, as the public at large takes them to heart. No false pretentious, the following are genuine class acts who will always be remembered as true honest Superstars :-
Fred Dibnah, Nerys Hughes, Geoffrey Boycott, Richard
Whitely, Tony Capstick,
Eagle Eyed Cherry and Jarvis Cocker
There you are, I'm right aren't I. . .
