What we battle

The other day just near The Design Museum in Kensington High Street I saw the famous (or should that be infamous?) Piers Morgan - Piers seemed to be in an argument/disagreement with his missus and had that look of a child who had not got his own way - struck me then that though we set some people apart from the common throng much of what they deal with in their day-to-day lives has much in common with our own travails.

So it was seeing a clip of  George Michael speaking to Michael Parkinson and being very honest about what had driven him as a youngster, a desire for fame but as we able to observe this was to replace something that was missing for him.

I'm still reading Marina's book and she too is driven and it seems a result of what she went through as a child.
