There is nothing special about them other than they are very talented if not uniquely talented in one specific area of their life. They are not perfect and someone can be very average and ordinary while being very flawed...many times people who are very beautiful, very handsome, very talented, very skilled become dependent on that one area of their life and they become very flawed in all the other areas of their life they have ignored. I cannot begin to imagine the pain Burt and Angie felt having a disabled daughter who ultimately took their life. Its ironic how a man who could write some of the most heart felt songs could be so dismissive of real life people and their feelings and their pain. Christy Brinkley said something similar that her husband Billy Joel was far better at putting his emotions into a song than he was sharing his emotions with her or other people. Many people like Jane Fonda's acting but despise her sedition and treasonous politics. They would be better and the public would be better off if we simply enjoyed and appreciated the fruits of their talent and stopped projecting their great talent is spread like peanut butter across every part of their life...like they are some super human. They are closer to idiot savants their super humans. FYI: Idiot Savants are people who are idiots in all areas of their life except for one areas where they demonstrate near genius level talent. Yes it would wipe away the gloss that the industry spent over a century creating but take this into consideration that in the early days the greatest stars didnt act like stars. They went to work in a studio system. They ate in a canteen and worked late hours. Many brought lunch pails with sandwiches and coffee. They were real people not born into the industry, not born into wealth and privilege...they were real people and we loved them more when we found out they were just like us than we did when they wore their elitist tuxes and million dollar gowns.Louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04641732778580593403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11320990.post-1150690264816254962006-06-18T23:11:00.000-05:002006-06-18T23:11:00.000-05:00does anyone know if burt and angie had a son toget...does anyone know if burt and angie had a son together? was his name ebon?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11320990.post-1123277852256130542005-08-05T16:37:00.000-05:002005-08-05T16:37:00.000-05:00Wow, you are more the romantic than I and that is ...Wow, you are more the romantic than I and that is saying a lot.
