   I'd say it depends entirely on the Maturity, or Imaturity level.

   They're only fantasies until they become reality, which is why playing nice   
   big concert venues is what I aspire to.   
   And it is a role to play - a very important one! Each performer has the role   
   of bringing the Music to life and imparting it's Vibe, meaningfulness, and a   
   trip into the Love Vibe, to the audience! That's no small task and   
   definitely not one for the overgrown naughty, Stupid children who never grew   
   up!

   I believe if they truly found it to be that way, they'd endeavor to become   
   performers and get into it too.   
   Personally, I observed that it's fun and much more...and anything but   
   'easy', quite the opposite really - LOTS of Relentless Effort and unwavering   
   Determination and Resolve- Hard Work, but much more than worth it because   
   it's a Labor of Love!!!

   I've heard it said, and wholeheartedly believe that concert goers go to   
   concerts to be MOVED by the performance, a Vibe not fully preserved in a   
   mere recording, which is why they buy concert tickets in addition to albums.

   The change happens over time, but it's the Stupid people who change for the   
   WORSE, as in Zombie Apocalypse.
