What is fame to me? I feel I've been famous in a small circle of people. That's good enough for me. Fame means to be known, but I think beyond that, it means to be respected, perhaps admired. Fame has become a value in our culture that's been exulted above all else. It's been blown out of proportion. There are more important things in life than being famous. I thing you're onto something about Inspector #9....he's anonymous, and yet he's ubiquitous...that's a particular kind of fame that not many yearn for and even fewer can achieve.
