No, but it makes me think that it's strange to see people in person that you've only read about. I've had that happen before with a few rock stars, it's like "oh there's that guy I read about on Wikipedia". Only reading about them and hearing their music or watching their music videos, makes them seem like some kind of mythical character, like Hercules. But seeing them in real life, it's like, so they are a real person after all, a real person actually had those thoughts/ideas that turned into the music or other creative stuff that I think is cool.
Anyway - have you ever done some kind of interest/hobby/activity as more than just a pastime, but as a lifestyle/as your identity?
