An eighteen-year-old girl somehow managed to get backstage at a major pop music concert, apparently without knowing anything about what groupies are and what purpose they serve for selfish, misogynist, and decadent music stars.
She apparently didn't know that the scenes backstage often involve drugs or sex... usually both and at the same time, if possible...
Kate Costello, of Melbourne, has hopefully learned something about what happens to people (especially men, we have to admit) when a little power and glory gets in the way of their supposed maturity. Among the crimes this celebrity, whose name we will reveal momentarily, committed in his short involvement with Ms. Costello:
promises to help boost her singing career
he also sent dirty text messages to the young girl while he was trying to get bizay in the boudoir. “I can't wait to have your naked body lying next to mine." He wrote. [Yes, they actually used the word "bizay" in a feature news story.]
she said he only met her needs with a steady string of pill popping and powder snorting. "There were so many drugs. There was this silver platter of drugs, every drug you could think of: cocaine, MDMA, K (ketamine, a tranquiliser used on horses), hash..." [wait, she knows what those drugs are... but still she's surprised to find them in a "rock" star's dressing room?]
Costello caught him in bed with another woman at a hedonistic Ibiza party – and was then ordered to leave within five minutes.
Thus of us who have ever seen Almost Famous or read a single article about music would have seen these lines for the bullshit they are, even if we were an innocent eighteen-year-old. Sorry, Kate, you won't get much sympathy from us. Live and learn, we say. However, James Blunt will get a huge beatdown if we ever come across him in some dark alley. (So, in a sense, one way of looking at this is to say: that's what she gets for hanging out with the maker of some of the worst music in recent history.)
