Now this is all my opinion, naturally. Others might feel totally different about it all. In fact, I have a sneaking suspicion that some definitely do.

Couldn't agree more. I have a friend who idolized an artist (not a FM one) for many years and she was completely obsessed. It got to such a ridiculous point that when he made a couple of albums that she didn't like - not for "objective " artistic reasons but because
she thought were inferior, she almost wanted to throw away her old records. Now that's a totally childish behaviour.
It sooo gets on my nerves seeing fans acting like the artist is creating music (or whatever, depending on the art) just for their sake and get totally nuts over something or, on the contrary, disappointed over a not so good record, as if it were a "boyfriend" who let them down
