LONE WOLF

 

 

He all too often promoted himself as a lone wolf.  I never understood the notion.  Wolves tend to find their greatest success in packs.  This lonely notion fostered by dreams of James Dean and a rebel without a cause.  It never led to any happiness or success.  He was a lone wolf and he wore the mask with great pride.  I kept waiting for him to ride up on his motorcycle wearing his leather jacket.  In the end he mainly just became a parody of himself and a few Hollywood images I was foolish enough to buy.  It must be harsh to buy into a myth only to become a caricature of yourself.
