The artist or band does not necessarily have to be one you <em>idolized<\/em>, but something along those lines. Any old famous band that you didn&#8217;t really care about much personally may not count. For instance, my band once shared a &#8220;spring fling&#8221; bill (and an elevator ride) with <strong>The Ramones<\/strong>. I like my share of Ramones music, but I never really <em>cared<\/em> about them or felt <em>inspired<\/em> by them.
