It's all well and good to be a huge fan of someone. Believe me, I know. My obsession with Barbra Streisand is forever. That being said, there are instances were it can go too far. Rebecca and I were watching a Michael Jackson concert this morning and I was shocked by the behavior of the audience. People were passing out before the man even sang a note. I ask you, what's the point of paying and unbelievable amount of money to see your idol if you don't even get to enjoy the show. As over the moon as I was to finally see Barbra live, I kept a fair amount of composure. Waiting as long as I did, nothing was going to keep me from seeing her performance in its entirety.
It's almost as if the people there to see Michael lost all self control. While celebrities can certainly touch and change lives, it's important to remember that they are just people. It scares me when people get so carried away and careless. While everyone is free to enjoy what they like, there's no need for hysteria. It's all quite ridiculous.
