The Biographer's Book Signing Tour

Jack was tricked into thinking that his gift would make him better off.
There weren't enough people around to tell him to stay grounded;
Or that success sometimes happens to people who aren't ready for it.
Most people aren't ready to be even mildly celebrated,
so it's rare that it happens to those who are best fitted to it.
You know I thought Jack was starting to adjust really well,
but sometimes, death too happens to people who aren't ready for it.
And there are places, where as a child, both success and failure will bring you death.
Jack was from one of these places,
and he got himself about as far away as he was comfortable.
So far that a lot of people were wondering if his character was actually designed to live...
but we all knew who the radio was talking about when it said
"At a hotel just north of Vegas,
there is a child star,
dead."
