For me growing up the downside of it was that as a kid you don't want to stand out. You don't want to have a famous father let alone get a job because of your famous father you know? But I'm a product of nepotism. That's how I got my foot in the door through my dad.
When the media defines something you have to question: Is it the definition that you want applied to your culture? I'm trying to determine who's leaving the legacy and if the legacy that is being left is a positive one.
