It really takes courage to get fame just like

On Christmas day Dame Patience Jonathan went out
for drink with some
of the Top Women after which
the Waiter brings their
bill:-
• Patience Jonathan. N10,400
• Ngozi Okonjo......... . N10,250
• Folasade Bent.........N1 0,450
• Turai Yar’adua....... ...N10,200
• Total.......... ............... N41,300

Patience Jonathan says: I will pay
for everyone else, but
Total must pay for herself
because I didn’t invite her,
afterall she owns petrol stations
all over Nigeria!
Funny. Hilarious!!! Dont worry Total will pay. Total is richer than Patience.grin She is in Aso rock, Total is nationwide. grin

There is a price to pay for fame. No one living or dead has gone thru it as much as Michael Jackson did. He summed up his experience with this unreleased song titled 'Price of Fame'


I took my baby on a river boat cruise
And she was well aware
I was excited about the way the things could have been
As in if I don't care
I want a face no one can recognize, in disguise
Someone called out my name
They thought of taking pictures, autographs, then they grab
My joy had turned to pain
Father always told me
'You won't live a quiet life'
If you're reaching for fortune and fame
I feel the pressure setting in
I'm living just to win
I'm down in my pai
Don't you feelin' no pain?

It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don't be feelin' no pain
It's the price of fame
It's the price of fame
So don't you ever complain?


I am a cover of a magazine, what a scene
They know my every do's
'Just sign your name on the dotted line, you'll be fine'
That always bothers me
Get in your car, you wanna take a ride, look behind
Someone is following you
You try to get away you turn with that, but too bad
They know your every move
Father always told me
'You won't live a quiet life'
If you're reaching for fortune and fame
And I feel the pressure setting in
I'm living just to win
I bleed in all this pain
Don't you ever complain?


It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don't you ever complain
It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don't be feelin' no pain?
It's the price of fame [Price of fame]
You pay the price of fame [Price of fame]
Father never lies
My father never lies [Price of fame]
My father never lies [Price of fame]
So don't be feelin' this way, boy
(Hee-Hee)
(Aow!)
(Do it)
(Hoo)


I like to take sometime and get away, then they'll say
Is that boy still alive?
The weak that really started taking pills, what a thrill
Only the strong survive
Father always told me
'You won't live a quiet life'
They start to wonderin' where have you been
I feel their envious looks at me
Their mistaken jealousy
And then stand here in my shoes
And get addict of my blues


It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don't you ever complain
It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don't be feelin' this way
It's the price of f fame]
My father never lies [Price of fame]
My father never lies, baby
My father never lies [Price of fame]
So don't be feelin' no pain, boy

One of the recurring themes in Jackson's work—pervasive on the Bad album and its outtakes—is about being in control versus being controlled. Given the nature of his life, particularly after Thriller, this preoccupation makes sense. How does he retain his identity, his sanity, his privacy amid such suffocating scrutiny, adulation, and expectations? Out of this context comes the dark psychological rumination, "Price of Fame," with its Police-like, "Spirlll World" opening and "Billie Jeanu"-esque verses (there are also chords with echoes of "Who Is It"wink. "Father always told me you won't live a quiet life," he rues, "if you're reaching for fortune and fame." The vocal throughout is drenched in painful irony. Where "Billie Jean" relays a mother's plea to "be careful who you love," here the father dominates via harsh dictums about the realities of show business. "It's the price of fame," Jackson sings in the chorus. "So don't you feel no pain/ It's the price of fame/ So don't you ever complain." While the song's production isn't complete by Jackson's standards, it does offer a powerful vocal (listen to the way he bites into the lyric: "My father never lies!"wink. It is a striking juxtaposition to the easy bliss of the previous track, revealing why he so desperately yearned to fly away and be "free."
