One hit wonders

Whether what you have got is 15 seconds of fame or 15 seconds to fame can only be known after the 15 seconds are over.Is it tragic then, especially, if you prepared yourself for the latter and it turned out to be the former.How was the face of oblivion?

  1. How was the face of oblivian?

    Nice post but isnt your question tense wrong... shouldnt it be how "is" since the 15 seconds have already past and the person is living in oblivian now.

  2. Or maybe that the person has moved on. :)

  3. Like I mentioned, although it can be argued that 'was' can be applicable in the sense the person has moved on and whatever was the event that led him to think this way is just another non - event for him now, reflecting further on the 'is' you mentioned, does seem to be more appropriate precisely for the reason that it brings out the full tragedy of the situation, because the tragedy is still continuing. Thanks.
