I do something similar in my mind, but it involves my favorite movie director and a couple of his frequent collaborators rather than musicians. I consider them to be my imaginary friends because I have made-up conversations with them and I imagine them following me everywhere I go. I also make up stories about them. If I ever met any of them in real life, I'd be so overwhelmed and embarrassed. They would probably think I was nuts for having imaginary versions of them for "friends", but then again, they themselves are often considered "nuts" by the media, so maybe they wouldn't mind. *shrugs* who knows?
If you really admire someone, they'll get to be pretty important. I make up stories too. Close friends/family know that the main character is somebody I admire, who it is at any given time (it tends to change), and that the younger woman is me, but they still tell me they're good. I'm sure they'd rather I was occupied.
The musicians I like are all older so they play small venues and I think they're grateful somebody even turns up. I'm usually the youngest at a concert, and a young person in a wheelchair at one seems to be a rarity. When I met one of said musicians she was looking at my chair as if she wanted to use it Herself !!
I wouldn't tell Her about the stories though, and She doesn't seem like somebody who would want to/have the time to be on here (thank God). If you feel like you're going to say that kind of thing to someone it's best to not meet them or keep quiet if you do –- even if you think they won't mind.
I consider meeting Her to be one of the best days of my life, not only because Her concert was so good, but because I appreciate things a lot more.
Is it normal to have an imaginary friend?

Hiya,
If you really admire someone, they'll get to be pretty important. I make up stories too. Close friends/family know that the main character is somebody I admire, who it is at any given time (it tends to change), and that the younger woman is me, but they still tell me they're good. I'm sure they'd rather I was occupied.
The musicians I like are all older so they play small venues and I think they're grateful somebody even turns up. I'm usually the youngest at a concert, and a young person in a wheelchair at one seems to be a rarity. When I met one of said musicians she was looking at my chair as if she wanted to use it Herself !!
