I don't think so. She's worked a lot of rock and roll shows and she's interacting heavily with the bands. She's not one to make shit up. She wasn't really presenting it as criticism, more as matter-of-fact statements.
Hey, I know you like the Dead. I don't see why them being douchebags on a personal level would have any bearing on one's enjoyment of their music.
It doesn't, I just think she has jumped to some conclusions. Anything about Bobby, I believe. He is an old codger, with a drinking problem. Phil just loves life. He enjoys every minute. He feels he got a second chance, after his liver transplant. You can hear the joy in his voice, and in Billy's, when they talk about playing. If these guys hated the fans as much as she claims, why would they keep playing their own shows, and sitting in at others? They have more than enough money to last several lifetimes. Who could get a read on Mickey? He is like wallpaper, just kinda there.
Most of her complaints were about Bobby. He's the guy who really hates the fans. She said he's a cranky old bastard.
