AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! All 100,000 posts to this thread can be summed up in the above words. I couldn't have said it better myself. Just take celebs for what they are--human, and leave it at that. Accept that bro's apology (if that's what it was) and get the fuck on...I have a sincere love and deep admiration for every member of The Roots, but unless I am somehow part of the stage crew, you will never catch me backstage, sidestage, or by the bus. If I get a pound or a dap, I'd like to know it was spontaneous (passing on the street or some shit as opposed to waiting hours in the wings for a glimpse), and not rehearsed, planned---and FANned.

There's a word for all that garbage...spell it with me...
