I know, but that's where I disagree, as it's almost saying that people's feelings for an artist/performer aren't valid in some way.

I think it's more a point about celeb culture and people caring more about some bloke off the telly they have never met, than caring about people who live in the same towns as them in desperate need of help

Well that's my take on it anyway
