| Rock is competitive to a point where it theatrically portrays Regalism. The Rock Star plays at lording it over the audience, purely for their entertainment. That's why fans who adore then too seriously seem so silly, unless the Rock Star actually has a lot to say. A good Rock Star should just be lively creative exhibitionist individual. The culture of Rock and Roll, from inception, did face danger of sorts. But it was only a culture war. Hence theatrical pseudo Regalism was the natural resistance. The demands on the individual to strengthen the group, are likewise primarily theatrical. The Kiss Army, for exemple, does not actually press any real demands of National Service! |
