When people say "the fence needs fixed" or "that paperwork needs done" instead of saying "the fence needs to be fixed" or "that paperwork needs to be done."

Basically, "to be or not to be, that is the question."

I gotcha. The one that bugs me that's kind of like that is when people say "I'd like a couple donuts" instead of "a couple of donuts".

did you read his post about musicians? This dude is Philistine to the max. A total hoot, I'm sure.

I like music, couldn't care less about musicians. Same goes for actors. I like a well acted movie, don't care who the people on screen date or what they think about politics.

People who correlate appreciating a skill or talent as celebrity worship.

There are probably 100,000,000 people who can sing really well on this planet. Same goes for playing any given instrument. Let's pick a dozen of them and act like they are special.

Yea, there are some who play well. There are very few who play/sing exceptionally. Most of these people do. Again, appreciating/recognizing a talent is not worship. That's just an absurdly stupid hot take.

Agreed, but there are only a handful who can write, play, and perform live really well and even fewer who can do that for multiple years consistently (and even fewer who consistently get better each release and innovate).
 
Holy ****. I can appreciate talent. I just don't care about the person who is talented. I don't care what they think about **** that has nothing to do with their talent. I don't care what kind of car they drive. I don't care who's shirts they ware. I don't care who they're voting for. I don't care who they're ****ing.

You can appreciate talent all you want and I'm not calling that celebrity worship. Once you start worrying about the talented person's personal life, I call that celebrity worship. These people are not a special kind of human. They are a regular kind of human with a special talent.
