Comedian Dave Chappelle was attacked on stage at the Hollywood Bowl by some aspiring rapper nut, who knows for what reason.

There is a seriously unhealthy obsession with fame and celebrity in this country and worldwide. It's not Mr. Chappelle's fault.

People are obsessed with becoming famous themselves; social media factors in, and they will go to great lengths.

Will Smith didn't help when he slapped Chris Rock and became the media's focus. Unfortunately, he reminded people of the fast way to fame.

And it sets a bad example when people like John Hinckley Jr. can shoot a president, injure people, spend decades in prison, and can sell out a venue in Brooklyn for his weak guitar folk performances.

This is bad.
