Well, I was being partially humorous.  To translate, I notice a pattern 
that 
the more popular and successful entertainers get, the less they socialize 
with those lower on the totem pole. There are exceptions of course, and if 
you are REALLY famous then it is impossible to keep up with your fan 
email. 
I just don't think it necessarily follows that the more successful or 
popular someone gets, the less they have to correspond with others lower 
in 
the pyramid.

I mean, you can't rule out the possibility that as some artists get famous 
and popular, their egos get bigger and they dis-associate themselves with 
their fans and past peers.  This does happen, not with everyone, but with 
some, and that is the behavior I am referring to in the context of 
looping...because we're not talking about looping like a Britney Spears 
phenomenon...it seems to be that the really successful loopers in the 
public 
eye (relatively speaking) should be able to be the "leaders" of 
communities 
like this.  I believe, and this is my opinion, they should be on the 
forefront of the community, leading by example, proactively introducing 
new 
topics and possibilities, etc.
