Default Re: Will society ever go hysterical over a celebrity again?

Part of the reason we'll never really see this again is because of overexposure. Today, there are endless TV shows, videos, interviews, etc.

Back when the Beatles did Ed Sullivan they had hardly been seen by most people in America. Their music had become popular but nobody had really gotten a good look at them in the states. Plus, back then if you wanted to see the Beatles perform you had to go to the concert. It's not like there were a gazillion live versions of their songs on MTV1,2,3 and whatever.

We give people too much of want they today and now everyone gets sick of anything new very quickly.

That and talentless PR and Marketing wienies run most of the music labels and are just trying to cash in as soon and often as possible. New groups don't show up on MTV because they're good, they get played because they made some sweet three way deal between Viacom, Clear Channel and Disney.
