(10,622 posts)37. I was being facetious, I don't believe in breeding, only character, my thoughts on his character
were that I felt he played the role to the wealthy whose club he so desperately wants to be in and whose approval he seeks so strongly was the role of Mary on the bus for the crew (as displayed in allegory via a song from Zappa's Joe's Garage).
A person from a poor industrialized town that was drawn to a famous and wealthy band and would trade every shred of dignity to be near it, trading one's soul and even body in direct service to the entry level celebrity satellites to the band (played by the stage crew) or in his case the thousand dollar a plate club and the campaign "crew" of his favorite band of wealthy players.
I agree with your assessment but displayed my sentiment in a coarse but apt manner.
