Russell Brand on Rolf Harris "Newly Cast as the Villain" - Comments and Message Board

'Graffiti over our grasp of what is real' Well, Russel Brand is no master of clear expression or explanation! Rest assured that there is plenty that stands on firm ground in the lives of decent people world-wide. But in the world of statesman, politicians, priests, gurus, and public idols one must reckon that criminal behaviour is not that uncommon, as countless cases. The sensible rule 'believe only half you hear' should perhaps be modified to 'do not go in for believing as such'. The world is a stage - and most of the show is vanity - while reality for far too many people is simply the stuff dreams are made of.
