i saw her in Vegas and doing so, i realized that i didn't care one way or the other about what she does.
however, the thing is, i wonder how he feels about his fanbase on the whole, and what i mean by that is that he flanks himself with security to the point where fans are tackled if he doesn't feel like letting them on stage or they see little more than his speeding frame as he runs in and out of the venue, he complains about the "internetters", and i understand that he almost canceled the Vegas show because he was "tired".
i know that some will say that he owes no more than a CD and a show, but as you say, he is a professional fan and is to this very date as trotting his albums up for Nancy to sign was how they met and became friends. i'm also sure that his experience of growing up in the music scene of the 70's would not have been the same had he been in the hotel lobby that day trying to meet the Sparks and he couldn't get within 20 feet of them because security was kicking everyone out, or if David Bowie had canceled some gigs because he had the sniffles, and so forth.
