Re: The Entertainer
That's a great take and a perspective that makes sense. When I was writing this though I was thinking of the way we celebrate musicians; we cherish their eccentricities, put them on a pedestal, and wish that we too could be as free as they are. It's our devotion, in terms of money and attention, that gives them such freedom, yet in order to maintain the relationship between entertainer and audience the entertainer has to create a sense of empathy, or some sort of connection even though he/she is swimming in wealth and living in an entirely different world.
