Horace Satire 1-3 Group one lines 1-28

The first lines are referring to the singers and their attitude toward their audience and their patron. This I felt is very similar to the "rock star" mentality. The very unpredictable character, people constantly subject to the performer's feelings and whims. For example when a singer or band cancels a sold out concert at the last minute. Or when asked to meet for an interview on a "talk show" and simply have to perform.

Tigellious not singing for Caesar, even though there is a relationship between Caesar and Tigellious' father is I feel a perfect example of modern day rock stars.

Next the satire refers to Tigellious being a bundle of inconsistencies. Running around like Tom Green one day haphazardly and the next like an altar boy in church or the term "walking around on pins and needles." Tigellious sounds like a kid on riddelian that is inconsistent with his required daily douses. Bouncing off the walls one minute and carefully concentrating the next.

The part referring to his amount of slaves and his social habits, I feel is comparable to a regular middle class man vs. a rich one. Tigellious owning 10 slaves at one time like the average American home owns 2 cars. Then the more extravagant side owning 100 slaves like modern rich car collector may have a lot of nice and expensive imports. This is a symbol of wealth and, not simplicity pursy but less of a display of extravagant wealth.
Tigellous would talk as if he was royal and then later appeal to "simplicity" and claim all he needs are the bear essentials. At the same time he would spend money like M.C. Hammer, wasting it… as if it were burning a hole in his pocket.

He would rebel against the earth and act nocturnal. Sleeping all-day and staying up all night. Also one could count on Tigellious to instantly find and criticize all his friends' faults with a sharp "eagle eye" and completely ignore his own. Tigellious sounds personally torn, between two extremes maybe trying to please a large majority of people or more simply not caring and acting like a chameleon, changing to make every situation highlight him.
