Dreaming...
Wouldn't it be great to have just unlimited fundage?
I'd use my unlimited fundage to travel down to Australia, so I could go to the Melbourne Independent Film Festival where the documentary about Tim Minchin's rise to almost-worldwide-fame (he'll get there, trust me!) is being shown for the first time (Rock 'n Roll Nerd). And then I'd go and live in London for a while and see his new show, Ready For This?, multiple times. I'd become one of his stalker-fans! MAS. Except I'd also use my unlimited money in whatever ways I could to make sure he gets all the notice and attention he deserves and desires. Cos he's brilliant and the world really needs to love him as much as I do.
And part of me is really scared of him making it big in a place like America. Because the U.S. is huge and scary and its "fame machine" might well indeed make him famous but I'm afraid of what it will do to Tim himself. It tends to mess people up inside, doesn't it? But maybe he'd be okay. It'd give him lots of good new material for his comedy act, at least.
And if you have no idea who I'm talking about, check out my Interested Person's Guide To Tim Minchin, which contains links to YouTube vids and his websites and all that jazz. Beware though - you WILL get hooked!
Love him, and spread the love to others. Cos he deserves every bit of it.
