Sure was. In 1978.
Billy Joel was a global superstar by 1977.
Star power and persona becomes a focus for the masses at that level of stardom.
The Kardashians achieved that level of interest with no talents beyond a BJ and endless addled rattling on and on, about this and that.

I don't count on it working for me.
I try to put other people's lives in my songs.
