People worship projected personas and then get pissy when their parasocial relationship gets battered.

Don’t meet your heroes and stop worshiping people. It’s disgusting. Someone makes music. That has nothing to do with the soul inside of the skin suit.

Managing the persona is 99% of the job.

Further, if you think it’s inappropriate for someone to sing about their faith, then get lost please.
