The Opposite of Never Meet Your Heroes

I really liked the beat generation growing up. Who could just leave their whole life behind and go and do cool shit? I've always felt tethered for whatever reason. In order for Mike Tyson to be famous, he had to fight people. And there was all the cops. I think mine was Eddie Murphy. That's what I imagine- Pipe and weed in Northern California. It's the opposite of never meet your heroes. Always make sure your heroes are dead. Good one.
