That being said, 60 years from now the majority of us will be in the 80-90-ish region (76 in my case, I'm gonna outlive all you guys). I think in the context of all the things one encounters over the course of their lives, the humbling experiences, and the perspective gained about what "really matters" in life... to have that infatuation take over again would be a bit unlikely. I would think that during that 60 years, we would all have found the love of our life (and if not, we've thought we did), had children, if we're so inclined, seen a lot of things and known a lot of people. After that entire journey, a french singer from 60 years ago would just feel like a distant dream. She would be a speck of time in your life during which you fell in love and obsessed over that love, then outgrew it as the years stretched on. Hopefully nobody gets offended when I say this, I understand that a lot of us here feel that Alizee changed or even saved our lives, and indeed she did in some cases - perhaps those people will always remember her. The rest of us who were or are just sort of infatuated with her, those are the ones I'm referring to when I say all this. We all move on, even if we like to think that we'll carry certain things or weights on our hearts forever.
I also rambled a lot :X
TL;DR I think by the time we've reached the ripe old age of -your age here +60-, other stuff will matter too much for us to bother obsessing over one person anymore.  |
You certainly have a point there. Good thinking.
But, what if one realizes at advanced age, that he/she has wasted his/her life on certain things, perhaps because he never asked himself whether other possibilites exist? ==> I mean, perhaps instead of wasting his life on supporting 4 children, he should have gone with only 2 and spend the rest of his resources on his own education, hobbies...
Or perhaps an artist or scientist realizes that he has wasted his career on things he doesn`t really like and finds out, that he has lost his independence ("innocence") when he "grew up" (that is, when he accepted conformance to common ideas or ways of doing things)... perhaps only then he realizes, that this small woman from the far past is something he needs for inspiration ... to try to do things he would like to do the last time in his life...
You know, Alizée is not just a person, is not just someone we hear when we listen to UEDS or MCE, when we look at our computer desktop, ... as per my understanding, she is foremost a symbol, a symbol of Alizée-ness, which has a different meaning to every individual.
Just perhaps, only for certain persons and only at ones advanced age, will one start to begin to understand, what Alizée-ness really is... and that really is something that is worth telling your grandchildren about.
Therefore, being a fan for life - not possible. But being alizee-ish for life - totally plausible.
