After all, we are obsessed with a man and a time that is long gone. I don't know hardly any of today celebrities. I don't know popular songs for at least the last 15 years. Yet, I can tell you the smallest details of Abraham Lincoln. Yes, they're right. There is something strange about it all. Next stop: Willoughby! A year ago or so, a woman I worked with mentioned Katy Perry. "Who's that?" I asked. And she replied, "How can you not know who Katy Perry is?" I am so glad I know so little about contemporary "celebrities". I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it. (Letter to James H. Hackett, November 2, 1863) |
