Really? Because from your posts, it sounds like it does matter.

If you would buy tickets, and I presume you own his albums/CD's as well, how are you not a fan on some level? Why do you feel it's necessary to like the person (whom, keep in mind, you don't
really know, you only know what you've read or heard about him, unless you do know him personally, in which case I stand corrected) to join the fan club?
I don't think a Frank Lloyd Wright Fan Club exists, but if one did, I would join. From what I have heard about Mr. Wright, he was rather arrogant and had other traits I might not look for in an acquaintance, but I would call myself a huge fan of his work.
If I may quote St. Bruce of Freehold, "Trust the art, not the artist."
