And you of all people I am surprised to hear sympathising with famous/rich people. Thought you hated all that ****?
I never liked that line of thinking. So, fans are entitled twats who don't really see celebrities as people so much as a potential experience to tell their friends about, and that's okay cause it's just that one guy we all want to hassle anyway who gets the shaft. This is the same mentality that killed Princess Diana. Yes, it was the photographers who ran her off the road, but the paparazzi wouldn't have been there in the first place if all of us didn't make it so ridiculously profitable to stalk celebrities with a camera.

I love me some celebrity news and **** when it's Lindsay Lohan in court again or Kanye West walking into a street sign, but I'm also not going to get self-righteous when they give me the finger. I'm a pimple on their ass as much as a part of the public who made them rich and famous in the first place. So if Neil Peart doesn't want to entertain everyone who thinks his time is community property then who am I to criticise him?
