Sure, I have been a fan of many in different arenas not confined to the performance stage - Limbaugh, Peart, King Solomon, Thomas Paine and a few others. While I admire their work, I don't wish for a clean spot on the floor in front of them to grovel adoringly at their feet.
Every time that I've turned on the TV and seen fans surrounding the most disgusting pieces of shit begging for some type of holy water to be splashed in their direction in the form of an autograph, a word or even a mere look in their direction, it sickens me. I'll never forget Jacko pulling up to court in a limo to answer charges of child molestation only to be met by swarms of adoring fans and media surrounding him shouting "WE LOVE YOU, MICHAEL!" I had to wonder how many of those idiots would sell their souls or give up a child for him to molest on the spot just for a piece of memorabilia, a picture or a mere acknowledgement of their pathetic existences.
