Last one today, I think. I've been reading and saw some things that just sum it up well. Look at all the posts here, twitter, topix and others I'm sure I don't read - every range of emotion from hate, anger, adoration, love, elation.... Why? People, many have 30 years, vested in this band or a member. It's tied to Our Lives and we are watching what could be the break down of something we Cherish and have no control. Honestly, what do we have, inuendos, scrutiny of every word or step the "other" side makes, gossip trash articles with "sources", few official facts, really feel left out and in the dark. Human reactions happen, right or wrong. Think about your own lives, ever watched and could do Nothing in a situation, maybe not your place but didn't stop you from caring or wishing you could. Ever cried or felt a loss when a celebrity, someone you never really met, died? You felt that connection to your life. Thats the fans. That's me.
As for me, I'd follow Richie to the bathroom, that's were some people think he is going anyway. He could sing the phone book and I'd listen but really wanted it all. Together and solo. I still feel there are people getting involved who should not be, hair on my neck stands up, gut reaction and it's almost alway right. Made it for me so worse.
