Good advise Fortunato..I once fell into the trap of thinking some of my heros were perfect. Sure enough, they have short comings like any of the rest of us. Some even had inner demons that cost them their careers or lives.
I'm not convinced that I was "idolizing", but never the less they were heros and I held them high and mighty with admiration for their skills as songwriters and performers.I have to agree with your posting, a fair amount of adoration is OK, but watch out for the "Idol" imaging.
