Susan Boyle and False Idols

I don't understand it.
I was reading many articles and twits about Susan Boyle and it's got to the point where I'm starting to feel sorry for the woman.
No, really.

She went onto "Britain's Got Talent" for the fact that she loves singing. There was no malice. No thought for how much money I'm going to make. You can see that she just loved to sing cause she came onto the stage, just being herself.
She wasn't glammed up to the nines.

This is what I believe we've lost in the world. All the beauty of innocence. Just being. Not because someone says "Wow!!! do you know how many records you'll sell?? Do you know that you will have zillions of fans once your famous??.

I really don't believe she went out to achieve this.

This then leads on to my rant about false idols or prophets.

You have people that go onto these shows. Not because of the love of what they want to do, but because of the fact that they will become famous and people will love them and worship them.

What a bunch of horse-s**t.

Granted, I'm a celeb watcher, but by doing this, I then have to learn that I appreciate the things that I have.... anonymity.

I can do s**t, and say s**t, and it will have and controlled affect or leakage.

These people are not promoting love of life and love of others, just love of self. I can name a few, but I won't as they probably won't be interested in what i have to say anyhows.

I remember when prophets were just that, prophets. Modern day prophets who had something to say and something to promote where some will get it, and others won't.

The likes of John Lennon, Bob Marley, Nelson Mandela (back in the day), Malcolm X, Marvin Gaye.... ok so most of my chosen prophets are male and singers, but I listen to lyrics as i love music. There's just something that moves me.

What are our 2009 prophets telling us: Go and buy garms, Buy, buy, buy, look good and feel great. Stick your finger down your throat to feel relief, starve yourself (on purpose), be jealous of me, don't work to get what you want/need, break someone else's neck to get it.

Damn!!! What the hell are we doing??

To end this rant, I don't have the solutions to this problem (dire problem, the world needs and anemia), but Jesus, can someone please please wake up and pay the knowledge forward to 3 people. Maybe, just maybe we can rid the world of this madness.
