Why are rock stars so arrogant?

[Gerioke]

You are sooooooooooooooo correct on that one Gerioke! And it still is!

That's true, but I thought that stopped when he got with Shannon? Who knows, that whole thing about all those women may have been all talk, too.

His son is so cute, and can sing, too.

Well according to him, Shannon and his kids................it hasn't stopped and according to Gene it wont, its his "right"

Perhaps he is considering joining the mormons.

Are they more lost than each of us were at one time?

Oh, Heavens no, Ted. They need Christ just as much as the next guy...and Christ loves them JUST AS MUCH.

I guess this question was just the human side of me coming out.

I saw a certain guy performing (don't want to name names, as I want to keep this thread general and not a bashfest), and his personality was just SO transparent through his stage presence, and he just oozed arrogance.

I'm not talking about his necessity for the Lord...I was just talking about his demeanor.

Don't be hating!! It's hard work to be an idol!?!

Just a guess....

the record labels are hyping them as the greatest thing since Elvis and everyone around them is telling them they are the best band in the world. They have publicists making sure that they are being talked about and "journalists" asking them for their opinions on things they know nothing about.

Maybe it is insecurity though? They have to keep up an image amd be more "over the top" than the next rock star or they are old news quick. They have forgotten what a day job is (if they ever knew it at all) and just can't relate to people who wake up early on a Monday morning.

But maybe the reason is that they can't walk across the street without someone wanting an a piece of them so they learn how to be rude just so they can get to the other side??

Not all of them are arrogant though....are they?

I'm not talking about being rude....there are plenty of rude people who aren't arrogant.

Actually, there are SOME rock stars who have managed to attain success without an inflated ego.

George Harrison is a perfect example.

Most fans are looking for a larger than life figure to look up to. That's why the most popular entertainers are arrogant. It sells.

hmmmm.... i've always felt they were arrogant too, but just as i was about to post, a thought just jumped into my head.

maybe it's kinda like the bully mentality. their lives are so empty and they are so full of self-loathing that they try to fill the emptiness with partying and with women... and that type of lifestyle inflates their ego to the point that they don't have to acknowledge how empty they really are, and anyone who is "beneath them" is a threat to their little bubble so they protect themselves the only way they know how.... by acting superior to everyone else.

I'm sure they have a big void in their lives, that they are trying to fill with everything except the only thing that can fill it.

Shalom,

Am I on the right board? A CHRISTIAN board, where sinners saved by grace come to lift up the name of Jesus and exhibit His characteristics? Where we don't sit in judgment of people, or sit around speculating why sinners act as they do, but we say "there but for the grace of G-d go I" with humbleness. Where we have a heart of compassion for the unlovable who don't have Jesus because we know what it's like.

Sorry, I think I am in the wrong place.

[Scarletprayers]

Sorry Vickilynn, but whats the difference in this thread and say having a thread just for fun, or for food, how are either one of those lifting the name of Jesus? Or as for questioning how actors or musicians can behave the way they do and discussing politicians on other threads?

Hey, Vickilynn;

You know, you're right. I guess I wasn't really thinking when I started this thread...I had just seen someone on TV getting a little carried away, and I posted this thread in response.

I guess I wasn't really thinking. You're right....we don't have the right to judge anyone, and I am disappointed in myself for my first post, which I re-read and now realize was way harsh.

I am sorry. I was just honestly wondering why certain people act the way they do...I REALLY wasn't trying to judge them, although it does appear that I was.

Shame on me.

I apologize!!!
