Further clarification- I would not call myself a Lipa “fanboy”. I like his music, but I’m not a diehard. furthermore, “fanboy” is a term used to describe obsessive, parents’-basement-dwelling fans following some sci-fi or fantasy genre show.
I used to listen to classical music and pretend to like it. Then someone pointed out my phoniness, and my Rosh Hayeshiva hated phoniness. You are correct, however. I do not reach my Rosh yeshiva’s standards, which is why he was Rosh Hayeshiva and I’m an Internet blog commenter. He would probably tell me not to be a blog commenter either (machlokes/krum hashkafa exposure/position distortion/etc), but it’s a tough habit to break. I would like to reach his level, however. If you reach for the stars, you don’t get your hands in the mud.
