Do you think social media helps or hurts the artists and bands?

I do think it has taken the awe and mystique away from the rock stardom we all once had for them. Now I feel they have made them more common fare.

I also think it's sad that after they play their first show of the tour, we know what the stage looks like, what the setlist is. It used to be that you tried to guess what the setlist was, what the show would be like etc. All of that's gone. You can say you don't have to see it, but it pops up in your news feed. I miss the anticipation that used to go with going to the show.

What do you think?
