Like with all types of celebrities, I find it so weird how we treat them. For example some band plays a good song and suddenly they are more important than average people.

Don't overthink it. This song just triggered nice memories and feelings of the times in the 90's when it first came out. Many average people walked in front of me during the 90's, but unless they interacted with me they don't come to mind like the Verve song.

Put another way - I remember driving and listening to the Verve in my car at the time; that doesn't mean I remember the mechanics who serviced the same car that year.

Don't overthink it.

There's nothing to overthink, I am very correct in my analysis.

I had the evidence provided today actually.

Because a rockstar died today (which no one really cared that much about until suddenly now they were massive fans hidden in the closet) - and because I questioned the cultural enigma of the cult of personality surrounding it rather than going straight into grieving mode - two of my closest "friends" are extremely pissed at me.

They really weren't my friends to begin with (obviously) because my mere questioning of the fact and stating that I'm unsympathetic was somehow powerful enough to cause them to go straight into anger/psycho mode and into a rampage against me.

That's all I wanted to know.
"Is the idea of a celebrity more important than someone who's proven to be a very good friend?"
The answer is a resounding Yes. I didn't even start anything either.
Idols are far more important than mere "friends".

I'm sure not everyone is as delusional as these two individuals, but I'm betting that a large amount of people are. What the hell is wrong with our society? The priorities and self-control of emotions aspects of human life seem to be totally messed up.

I prefer The Rolling Stones original.

It's an age thing.

Yeah, most people don't realize that this song cost the band a significant amount of money for copyright infringement. The symphonic cover in the background was lifted from Oldham's orchestra playing Whitaker's arrangement and the band was sued by Stone's manager Allen Klein who owned the copyrights.

Well then I suggest you need new friends. I try not to overthink things; if some wish to place more importance on the latest IPhone or their TV idol or muso than their friends thats their loss.
