Starfuckers

I'm kind of bored today, can't you tell? Well, actually I'm more hungover from sneakily drinking too much wine at work as a result of the musical cabaret last night (lots of musicals and I HATE musicals). That, and i feel like I have lots to share.
So, about work last night, Tom Cochrane ended up dropping by for a drink. I didn't even know who he was until the bartender had to serenade me with "Life Is A Highway". Anyways, as I'm observing him and the behaviour of the stupid starfuckers I actually kind of felt bad for him.
Here he is, an old man dropping into an obscure bar in the sketchy part of town hoping to have a drink in peace. (At least that's what my imagination is assuming). Anyways, and even HERE he can't have a beer without everyone harassing him.
"Man, i grew up listening to your music." or "Hey, if you ever need a stand up bass player for your band here's my number" or "Oh, I took the courtesy of watching your beer while you went to the shitter" (NO one looks after ANYONE'S beer EVER where I work, and he didn't say "shitter") or people desperately attempting to bond over music with him or my idiot manager giving him free shots of bourbon (idiot), the man can afford to buy the bar he doesn't need free shots of bourbon! It's Tom fucking Cochrane, who the fuck CARES!? It's not like he found the cure to stupidity! He's old with a ridiculous haircut. He's just like the rest of us except rich. And what I also observed is that the men were far worse than the women. Everyone assumes that girls would drop their panties as soon as someone is a musician or actor or athlete meanwhile these GUYS are losing their shit and being starfuckers themselves. What I define as a starfucker is anyone who is willing to give up their dignity and self respect to blow sunshine up someone's ass who is remotely famous or popular.
What is wrong with everyone!? The man was standing in the middle of my server station and wouldn't even move for me when I was carrying a tray full of drinks, I had to go around him!
I guess what I'm trying to say is,
I just don't get it.
