Please stop all these bashings.
Michelle and Tara are friends.
They don't hate each other.

Of course not. At worst, they have mutual respect and are somewhat
civil. At best, they are best friends. They are somewhere in the
middle. Not each other's first choice for who to hang out with, but
certainly not the last choice either.

You know, I really really hope that the two can get some dual
endorsements.

Yes, but you also forgot to mention the fact that Tara never replied back to
Michelle after she uttered that comment.

An exceprt from the NY Daily News 2/22/98:
'After their battle Friday, Kwan turned and told Lipinski "I like you
Tara." Lipinski....never quite reciprocated."

Hmmm....friends or still foes? you be the judge of that...

"Let's you and her fight". Its one of the lovelier facts about modern
society and the media.

My wife saw an article in a news magazine a couple of weeks ago that said
Tara and Michelle went for a walk together in an unfamiliar city while on
tour. They found themselves in a part of town that frightened them and ran
back to their hotel holding hands.

When I read some of the Michelle and Tara bashing from their respective "fans",
and I consider that Michelle and Tara seem to, at the very least, get along
fairly well, it reminds me of something John Lennon once said. I'm paraphrasing
here, but it went something like this:

"The Rolling Stones and the Beatles had a rivalry, sure, but it was a HEALTHY
rivalry, and we were all actually good friends. I can remember a couple of
times Paul and I would be with Mick and Keith, and we'd be reading the papers
or the fan mail. We'd just die laughing with some of the stuff that went on.
Y'know, all of the Stones Suck, Beatles Rule or vice-versa. And then, there
would be stories about how I supposedly did this to Keith and Mick punched out
Paul or whatever. We'd get together and have a huge giggle about all this
Battle To The Death stuff!"

Great quote. The bashing is all about "being a fan". And, y'know,
this sort of reminds one of the contrast between being a religious
leader, like say Gandhi or Christ, and being a FOLLOWER, like say
Cardinal Torquemada or some of the people who killed in the name of
Hinduism. Somehow it sometimes seems that the status of "follower" is
just too small for people's egoes. They have to prove they are
SUPER-fans. There is a hitch in the psyches that finds the worship of
the elite (and I don't mean the elite like Bill Gates, I mean the
great humanitarians) too humiliating. It is the matter of "being a
nobody" in a society that abuses the nobodies. It is a great step of
maturity to realize that only close friends will ever know your name
and say "that's alright".

Actually, when I see what happens to people who step into the
limelight, I begin to TREASURE anonymity. But its clear that there's
something about never getting 15 minutes of fame that works on and
twists the emotions of a certain element in society. And so you get
your John Hinckleys, your Jon Salvis, and the people who call hate
radio. The Internet has been a huge boon for some of these people. But
the result is that you have to wade through deep rivers of animosity
to read the worthwhile things that a few people say.

And since we brought up the Beatles, John Lennon was killed by this
phenomenon, and before that he was vilified when, in horror, he
blurted out "We are more popular than Christ". I don't think he was
bragging. He was saying, years before his assassination "People,
you're SICK! I am not your Savior".

Since this is highly off-topic, please address any follow-ups to
private e-mail. I thought transactional analysis (TA) as adumbrated in
the popular bestsellers _Games People Play_ and _I'm OK, You're OK_
went out in the late 1970's with the advent of primal scream
psychotherapy.
