Thoughts About Celebrity | The American Conservative

At some point, maybe a decade ago, I realized that I had gotten out of touch with modern celebrity. It started when I would go to the grocery store, and wouldn t recognize the people on the covers of the magazines and the tabloids. Their names were a mystery to me. Still are. All those young stars look the same to me. Recently, I heard one of my kids say that one of their classmates had seen an Instagram influencer in town recently. An Instagram influencer. Golly. I m so out of it. You know how they say the music that was popular when you were a teenager is the music that will be your favorite for the rest of your life? Well, in my mind, Harrison Ford is still a big deal, and though he is one year older than my mother, he is perpetually in his fifties. I m basically frozen at the point where I stopped paying attention to pop culture.
