Nevertheless, they always faced the audience and were a joy to watch perform.

I obviously never had any interest in seeing Morrison.

Edit: Also, I think we've become hung up on live performances, when the original topic was just about entitled rock stars. It's all good though, but there are other aspects to this than just gigs. Prince is definitely a good example of the latter: bitching about every instance of his music used even in YouTube videos in the background? I mean, really?
