Rockstars get to travel all around the world and perform at some of the world’s biggest venues, like Madison Square Garden. They have millions of devoted fans, chanting their names and buying their albums… Sometimes, we see rockstars sitting next to famous fashion designers in the front row at fashion shows. We see them driving fancy cars and wearing the latest styles and out at the best nightclubs. Rockstars are seen are frequently on the arm of some of the most beautiful people in the world. We see them on jumbo -trons and in videos and magazines. Some rockstars go on to become actors.
Some of these rock and rollers have more money than they can spend in one lifetime. Some have a team of “yes” men or women on call 24/7, to make any wish or desire they have come true. Or at least it seems that way…
But a lot of us fail to recognize that rockstars have to spend an incredible amount of time away from their families in order to do their jobs. That touring can be grueling and exhausting! Yes, their jobs tend to be a lot more glamorous than regular everyday nine to five jobs like most of us have. But it is still work and it can be hard!
Sometimes the decadent, “all access” rock and roll lifestyle makes it challenging to keep a marriage together, to stay sober, or sane. It can be hard to feel any type of normalcy, when your life is like a fantasy. But rockstars are people, just like us. Sometimes, we forget that… That they have feelings and emotions just like us. That they love and miss their families including their beloved furry an reptilian friends.
An animal does not know or care whether a person is Elvis Presley, or Joan Jett. An animal is not going to tell a superstar “yes” all the time. A rockstar can come back down to reality with their pet and truly be themselves. They do not have to put on a show… It is a completely honest relationship. Perhaps that is the most appealing thing about having a pet for a rockstar.
