It’s here.
Earlier this year, Stu Starr arrived. Now, after his MTV debut today, he’s sure to be even more famous — just like the Jackson family!
The official music video for I’m A Star is now live on YouTube. I’m A Star is Stu Starr’s breakout hit — the song that launches him into the spotlight and sets everything in motion.
If you haven’t read the book yet, Starr Love is the story of Stu Starr, a performer who buys into the myth of fame and gets swallowed by his own legend. It’s satire, it’s dark, it’s funny, and unfortunately it feels more like a documentary every day.
I made this video myself — yes, that there’s some of that AI video you’ve heard tale about and yes, it’s a little cheesy. But honestly? Stu wouldn’t have it any other way. Fair warning: there’s a barista in the opening who has a thing about her little jug. We don’t judge here. Well, not about that. It’s what makes AI fun.
This video is for Stu — and for everyone who knows they’re a star too. Even if nobody else has figured it out yet.
Baby, baby, baby — you’re a star. Give it a watch, share it if it moves you, and if you haven’t picked up the book yet, now is a great time.
Spread the Starr Love. 🌟
Coming Soon
While you’re here, a couple of things worth putting on your radar. A brand new remix of I’m A Star is coming in July, along with the Starr Love audiobook — narrated by me, recorded in a questionable motel on I-20 in Texas, with occasional bird cameos. More details on both as we get closer.
A Note for This Weekend
One more thing. It’s a holiday weekend here in the US, and for the first time since launching Jeff Elder Isn’t Real, I’m taking the weekend off. No Substack post this Saturday. This is part of a new rule I’m trying to stick to — no working on holidays. First time I’ve actually followed through on that, so we’ll see how it goes.
To everyone reading this, happy holiday weekend. Spend time with the people who matter most, get some rest, and remember that life is too short to be working around the clock. So I keep telling myself, anyway.
See you next week!
Jeff
