For several years I helped run a couple of websites about a popular band of the 80's. I poured everything I had into it. It seemed only the drummer ever appreciated or acknowledged anything we did. He was always very gracious and a gentleman. The lead guitarist was still drinking, using drugs, womanizing and using people just like it was still 1983. One of the worst people I've ever dealt with. We only heard from the front man when he wanted to raise sand about something, and never heard from the bass player. Anyway, I finally resigned, heartsick and feeling very unappreciated. I'll never do anything like it again. I learned the hard way that celebrities are all too human, and yes, they go to the bathroom and have clay feet just like the rest of us.
