Hero worship is quite common. Misplaced as it may be. Kurt Cobain, Prince, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse, John Belushi, Jimi Hendrix, even Elvis.
Sports stars like Roger Clemens, Pete Rose, Mark McGuire, etc have the stats for the Hall of Fame. Their misdeeds keep them out.
I like the idea of having heroes like teachers, policemen. military, doctors, etc. So no, I won't listen to Michael Jackson, follow Tiger Woods, or idolize any of these guys.
