But it's gravy. They don't owe us. Patty is friendly in her shy way. I met her in a meet and greet and she signed my guitar and interacted with my son. She actually seemed to want to spend more time with him - I got the iimpression she likes quality interactions, that she felt uncomfortable with the "small-talkishness" of it all. And she was sick, or just getting over being sick, if I remember correctly. Patty Griffin isn't, by any strech, ungiving to her fans. Everybody's different, different styles.

Emma, don't worry. I don't think you are a psycho. Geez, Paul--I was doing nothing of the sort! And I wasn't assuming ANYONE on this list is a "psycho". Like you, I believe that "people are basically kind, good and honest." But the truth is that our society IS different than when you and I were kids (as John Lennon discovered in his final moments of life) and therefore, artists generally are and need to be more careful in their dealings with fans--who are, of course, usually strangers to them.
