This reminds me of a song from long ago. (lyrics below)
And people need to remember a band like this is a business. A business with contracts that have penalties if broken.
Lots of money involved and other peoples jobs/income are also involved.
The idea that all that is supposed to stop suddenly for ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE because some woman posted a story on twitter about one of them (true or not) is kind of insane to me.
And this idea that people feel they have such a personal connection to these people in such personal way, to feel they know that they are just "stupid pure" without even knowing them? I mean who is actually "pure" anyway? Kind of unfair to put that on anyone you don't really know. To feel this way all because they made some great art, and you may have met them once or 3 times? To then be personally devastated when they F up as humans, well, that's kind of insane to me too.
Im sure many will disagree here, its just my opinion...but this reminds me of a song I loved by another fantastic band...
Lush - "Heavenly Nobodies"
"Just because they seem to understand the way you feel
It doesn't mean they'll feel the same way too
Just because they seem to hold a mirror to your life
It doesn't follow that they'll be just like you
Take no heroes,
Its no good
They don't stand up to you
Just take the bit you that you can use
I remember when I was younger
I thought the answers were locked in people
So I admired the ones whose lives were a source of envy to people like me
But do you really want to meet
The ones who write your dreams
Believe me, it's a fantasy
You won't like the reality
If you want heroes keep them safe
They don't stand up to life
So lock them in your soul and lose the key
When I see you it makes me feel
There's someone else out there like me
You touch my soul with what you do
It all makes sense when I hear you
You understand the way I feel
I know exactly what you mean
It's like I've known you all my life
I think of you I feel alright
But in the flesh how would it be
If you could really see
The weaknesses you never knew
Alive and staring back at you
If you want to heroes keep them safe
They don't stand up to life
So lock them in your soul and lose the key"
