Of course on the other hand.. a...I love this post!<br /><br />Of course on the other hand.. artists love there groupies.. <br /><br />The thing I'm thinking is.. an artist.. well there persona is a part of there art, is a part of the story.. and has importance from an epistemological aspect of the art appreciation.<br /><br />What I think the issue is is that the artist, or celebrity, or content maker, can be a projection of the fans inward potential, unrealized.. loving the artist is loving the artists persona, as a pose the "I" behind the persona... and the inward potential projected.<br /><br />The psychology of the projection.. the projection does have value.. in the hero worship.. one assimilates the patterns by which said potential is actualized.<br /><br />It also strikes me that artists are fighting the monsters of our collective common humanity.. which seems to fit in there somewhere..Matt Searleshttp://mattsearles.comnoreply@blogger.com
