As I listen to one of my favorite bands’ latest albums, I realize how much I love the bass and drum combo of a song.  It is no secret that I am a fan of rock icon Nikki Sixx, bassist, and bandleader of Motley Crue.  I was a diehard CrüeHead for a greater part of my life.  I obsessed over the music, over the lifestyle, and even Sixx himself was a mentor of sorts long before I met him.  Well, it has been over 20 years since that moment, and as I reflect on my life since then.  I wonder if my mentor has changed as much as I have in that period.  I would not say I am a completely different person than the one he met, however, I am indeed different.  For starters, I am no longer obsessed, with the band, the lifestyle, or Sixx.  I have to wonder how that changes how you interact with your hero/idol if you no longer revere them to the same degree of esteem you once did.  Does one act or treat them differently at a subconscious level?
