Being super-famous and not being able to go to the grocery store without being followed by people with cameras is thoroughly unappealing.

It's the super-famous who, in fact, waste their late-teens/ early-20s working very hard on (usually crap music) who get churned over by the press for a few years and then disappear back to obscurity with no skills, no passion for music and often a large debt from the record company advance that gave them a 5 album deal on the back of 2 moderately successful singles which they have to pay back after their 2nd album went to number 152 than sank without a trace that I feel sorry for.
At the moment, I could deal with a few years of fame, because I could always go back to other things. If I was 19 I'd give it a resolute 'hell no'.
