I became a human placebo.

Meaning of the quote

'I became a human placebo.' This means that Bobby Sherman pretended to be someone he was not, just like a placebo (a fake medicine) pretends to be real medicine. He acted as if he had special powers or abilities, even though he didn't. This helped him become more popular and successful as a musician.
