Wow - i can't beleive how many people still watch The New Music!
Since the episode that we were featured on has aired, I have been approached by all sorts of people who recognized me from the show -
"Hey you're the Devilman!"
or (more commonly I'm afraid)
"hey - you're the guy from the Beach Bunny Band..."
It's amazing to me how differently people who don't really know me treat me now. It's very different. People think I am famous, or important or something. It's kinda trippy at times - because people you haven't seen in a long time, or people you didn't really know (y'know, the guy you see at the bar every week, you don't know his name, you just give eachother "the nod" - that guy) will come up to you and start talking about you. If you are a shy person, this can be very disconcerting. I have never been known to be shy, but even I find it a little freaky. I do appreciate that these people are now fans and are showing me their support - and I do like that very much. I try to treat them all with as much respect and courtesy as I can. I don't want to become that asshole that everybody wants to piss on because he is rude to people for no reason. (Hey Mr. Devilman!, can I have your autograph? - "Fuck Off kid!") Never want to be that guy!
Have any of you ever experienced some form of fame that put you into the public eye?
