Fame Monster
Brandon Joyner
People who are in a lot of movies or sing a lot of music are seen as famous and are pretty well liked by others. To me—they are people that I really like. Famous people also have a lot of money and are well known. Sometimes they’re famous and sometimes they’re infamous—like it or not!
To be honest with you—I'm not sure WHY they’re famous... Most of the famous people I’ve met have been singers... Mel Tillis, Louis Mandrel, Statler Bros, Oak Ridge Brothers (in Columbia), Ronnie Milsap, John Michael Montgomery (I have an autographed CD of his.), The Lettermen (in Savannah).
I’ve seen them all over: Myrtle Beach, Savannah, Florida—just so many different places. Sometimes I get to take pictures with them and sometimes not—my favorite was probably Mel Tillis back at the Gaillard in Charleston.
A couple people that I would love to meet, but never have—well, to be honest with you, I’m not really sure... I’m glad I got to see Kenny Rogers while I still could. And for someone living that I’ve never seen in concert or never met—I'd choose: Reba McEntire. I enjoy her TV show. There are a lot of movie stars that I think I’d like to see, but that is very iffy—cause it’s very hard to remember because there are WAY TOO MANY!
If it were a dream and I were the director and I could cast anyone living or dead in my movie, here’s what you would get:
A Romance/Comedy or RomCom set in Italy. It’s not quite Summer yet.
The Title: The Magic Town of Love
Think: Sleepless in Seattle Meets House Sitter.
What’s it all about?
They (Goldie Hawn and Tom Hanks) meet up with the couple (Meg Ryan and Steve Martin). They go sailing out on the ocean in a yacht—they get up early that morning so they can have a full day out on the water. They sail across to the island of Sicily where they have a reservation at the best Italian restaurant.
Everything goes swimmingly until their return to the mainland. That’s when things go awry and the magic begins to set in.
How does it end—well, you’re just gonna have to wait for it to get made!
I’ll have to take meets with all of the actors to decide on the best ending...
If I could be FAMOUS for any one thing—I would be famous for singing. I would be the best country singer out there. I would have an entire album that’s full of HITS—I would get help from my friends Brandon and Kristen. But I think they would be pretty good and everyone would listen to me on the radio.
I would travel and do 12 places a year—with long weekends at each stop—I could spend some time at home and not have to be on the road as much. Some places I’d fly to, but I would also have a tour bus. I would have my name emblazoned in white on the outside of the bus. The bus itself would be different colors—purple of course being the main color. Inside the bus there would be a couch to sit on, a bed to sleep in, there would be a refrigerator and microwave, but if we were hungry, we could stop for some good food, oh yeah... and a bathroom (the necessary room).
I wouldn’t travel alone—there would be room for all my family and the band (of course) inside. Maybe Brandon, I’m not sure. Maybe Kristen, but I’m not sure. Definitely Mom and Dad. And then... out back I would have a jacuzzi possibly—not sure on how this would work though!
In short—There are many different and interesting people out there in the world and I have been lucky to have met some of them.
