Excelllent post Ed. I am a wannabee too.
I just finished reading a book on Lefty Gomez, the great Yankee pitcher who played with Babe Ruth and went out with Ruth and his wife. He stated at some point Babe had to stay home because if he went out he was mobbed and couldn't relax.
I don't want the attention that fame brings but it wouldn't hurt to have that kind of money.
