I feel that entertainers like actors and musicians are public figures-some are idolized by youths who ape their idols blindly.So they should send a message that good,
clean fun is ok but abuse of drugs,use of violence or abuse of women is not OK.Audience pay a
premium to attend live performances for relaxation and to destress,chill out and whatever happens,
the creed is that the SHOW must go on like the level of professionalism of Freddy Mercury but for
those who are publicity seekers and attention getters ,we fans must send the message to them that it
is not OK to see artists inflicting pain on themselves in order to entertain us unless the audience are
sadists.Most fans love their idols to bits and it upsets them to see an entertainer in pain in order to
give us pleasure.We FANS are mainly not sadists so for a star to indulge in sadistic desires in a
public performance causes fans more pain and stress .So we appreciate entertainers who are
enjoying themselves and losing themselves in the show ,so if they are not healthy or are in mental
or physical pain,please cancel public performances.Heal yourself,take better care of yourself,
Refund us and we can understand your predicament. for like us,at the end of the day,you are human after all.
We understand that it takes long hours of practice to reach the level of perfection needed to perform
in public ,the painful repetition of practice and vocals,the long rehearsals but they get rewarded by
the millions of profit they earn for their work so that's the price they are willing to pay for FAME
and FORTUNE.Those are the rules of the game and that's why many young people want to be
pop stars wannabe-they become RICH and FAMOUS but let it be a reminder to them that when they lose their glitter
one day,these stars who let the fame and fortune go to their HEAD may suffer from depression
and be ill equipped to handle anonymity.. One day,accidents or ill health may rob them of their
unique talents and if they havent made preparations emotionally and mentally for such a day,then
it may result in suicide,self harm or emotional break down.To go from ordinary to
EXTRAordinary is EASY but to fall from EXTRAordinary to ordinary requires great adjustment
to live as any Tom,Dick and Harry and to have the papparazi always ready to hound them for
photos on what depths they have fallen to-without the make up,the bling blings and flashy dressing,all their wrinkles,loss of hair,
unshapely figure and disability become food for fodder for tabloids waiting for the next
sensational shocking scandals to sell more news on what's happened to the old stars.But for
stars that have their priorities right ,they are still admired not for what they can't do anymore
but for what they can use their fame to do -to fight for others.We admire Brigitte Bardot for her
fight for the cause of animals,and not the sex kitten she once was,we look up to Barbara
Streisand for her speaking up for liberal causes,we look up to John Lennon and always remember
his fight to end war and for peace on Earth.,Christopher Reeves for medical research for
rehabilitation and cure of parapelgics.So the down to earth performers like them have the support of their followers as they give back as much as they get.
