I've Built My Whole Life

Anyone Watching '30 Rock' Always Knew Tina Fey Was Playing A Fictionalized Version Of Herself, A Workaholic Comedy Writer Who Also Plays One On Tv. She's The Boss; Liz Lemon Just Works Here.

Rock Stars Did Not Invent Burning Out. They Just Do It Louder.

Madonna Was So Flamboyant In Terms Of Her Look, Her Style, Her Public Pronouncements, Her Religious Taboo-smashing.

Morrissey Was My Mrs. Garrett, The House Mother From The Facts Of Life, A Soothing Adult Figure Giving Me Words Of Wisdom.

'the Voice' Has Lots Of Singers Who Fit The 'idol' Mold Of Young, Innocent Ingenues With Psycho Stage Moms. But It Also Has Long-suffering Adult Pros, With A Whiff Of Thirtysomething Despair In Their Voices. That Adds An Edge Of Realness.
