In Granada TV's 1974's Starmaker, head Kink Ray Davies proved once again that he's not like everybody else, producing a rock opera for television that tells the story of an insufferable, vain, egotistical rock star (played by Davies, naturally) who switches places with an "ordinary person" named Norman, working in Norman's crappy job and living Norman's crappy life to find inspiration for his next album. (Well, it's a little more complicated than that…) Davies' play reveled in breaking the fourth wall: cameras and microphones are visible throughout and the play's author/star himself even ends up a member of the audience. Starmaker was a dry run for the themes of the Kinks' 1975 album, The Kinks Present a Soap Opera.
