Celebrity

I want to meet Bob Dylan.

No you don't. If you met Bob Dylan you'd be disappointed. Bob Dylan is the kind of person who enjoys disappointing the people who want to meet him.

Have you met Bob Dylan?

No.

Then how do you know that Bob Dylan would be disappointing in person?

I just do.

Do you know Miguel Indurain?

No.

He's the great Spanish cyclist. Winner of five consecutive Tour de France 's, and no dope.

So?

So a teammate of his said he was so quiet that when he came down for a meal you couldn't even hear the chair move.

Miguel Indurain is not a celebrity.

He's a celebrity if you like to ride a bike and/or believe The Tour de France is the ultimate sporting event.

I want to meet Samuel Beckett.

Yes, that would be a life experience.

The Samuel Beckett who said he knew a piece of writing was done when he could walk and talk with the characters.
