When people make gods out of singers, actors, and athletes,.... people are then surprised when the singers, actors, and athletes expect to be treated like gods, including hanging on every word that comes out of their mouths.
I remember riding the school bus, age 13, already with 6 years experience at operating farm equipment, had helped work cattle regularly (on foot or on horseback), taken off and landed an airplane, built a minibike that year,... and observing the teen girls on the bus all googly about some pop music magazine with a bunch of pics of woosie dudes that sing songs.
30 years later I was working at a steel fabrication shop. Several of the workers had their own radio blaring ‘classic rock’. Me, I would ‘tune out’, thinking of my next project at my own shop.
I noticed those workers were mostly unable to think outside of the box. Addiction to music has been corrosive to many a mind, imo.
