Do you know who Bill Frist is? You say you don’t. I say don’t feel bad. He probably doesn’t know who you are either.
Wikipedia knows Bill Frist and here are the first 3 paragraphs of what Wikipedia has to say about him...
“William Harrison Frist (born February 22, 1952)
is an American physician, businessman and politician who served as United States Senator from Tennessee from 1995 to 2007. A heart and
lung transplant surgeon by occupation, he was Senate
Majority Leader from 2003 to 2007. He is a member of the Republican
Party.
Born in Nashville, Tennessee,
Frist studied health care policy at Princeton University and
interned for U.S. Representative Joe L. Evins. Rather than going directly into
politics, Frist earned a Doctor of
Medicine degree from Harvard Medical
School, becoming a surgeon at Massachusetts
General Hospital and several other hospitals. In 1994, he
defeated incumbent Democratic Senator Jim Sasser; he pledged to only serve two
terms.
After serving as Chairman of
the National
Republican Senatorial Committee, Frist succeeded Tom Daschle as the
Senate Majority Leader. Frist helped pass several parts of President George W. Bush's domestic agenda, including
the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 and PEPFAR.
He was also a strong proponent of the Partial-Birth
Abortion Ban Act and a prominent advocate of tort reform. Frist left the Senate in 2007,
honoring his commitment to serve no more than two terms”
He left the Senate after 2 terms because he said before he started his first term that he would not serve more than 2 terms. Keeping his word like this angered and mystified the other Senators.
Ø Senator Foghorn Leghorn was mystified saying, “Son, I say son, what are you thinking? Keeping your word like this is unheard of in this here Senate! The folks back home are going to expect some of the rest of us to start keeping our word also. I say good riddance to you. It’s Senators like you that could give the Senate a good name!”
Ø Senator Yosemite Sam was angry (he is always angry) and he said, “What in tarnation are you doing! My folks back home (wherever that is) have been asking me to leave office for decades. I have always ignored them. Do you know how hard I am going to have to work to ignore them in future decades?”
Since Bill Frist left the Senate he has served as an adjunct professor of Cardiac Surgery at Vanderbilt University. As a leading authority on healthcare, Senator Frist speaks nationally on health reform, government policy, global health, education reform, and volunteerism. In 2019 he launched “A Second Opinion” podcast, which addresses challenging healthcare issues of today from three distinct vantage points: policy, medicine, and innovation.
An example of the kind of thought provoking videos he produces is this one about the Coronavirus... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlWH3z3pToc
This informative video was published on 3/25/20 and in the following 5 months it has been viewed only 240 times. (Later I will tell you why I bothered to peck out this sentence.)

I went to my Search Bar and typed “Jus”. Immediately a drop down list appeared and “Justine Bieber” was on top of the list.
(Then I searched on “Bil” looking for Bill Frist and the drop down list was Billie Eilish, Billion Auto, Bill Gates, BiliBili, Billy Joel & Bill Cosby but no Bill Frist.)
I saw this headline, “Justin
& Hailey Bieber Get Their Temperatures Checked While Arriving at a Studio”
This headline appeared on August 19, 2020. In 2 days time there were 401,000 likes on Facebook alone. Remember I said above that in 5 months Bill Frist got 240 hits on his Thought Provoking Intelligent Video about an Important To All of Us Subject (Coronavirus).
My point is obvious...Or is it?...We have a society that is Engrossed In and Captivated By Unimportant Miscellaneous Trivia.

Is it possible that
I have not convinced you about the truth of what I pecked out in the last
paragraph? Allow me to give you 3 more Miscellaneous Bits of
Trivia to Prove the Silliness of following these Adored Celebrities...
