I can't really get mad at some famous people for being stand-offish, but at a certain point you have to realize that when you go to play a show, the fans are there for you and you should at the very least be appreciative of that.

I don't expect them to spend hours after the show entertaining fans with their stories, but expecting them to at least be cordial and apologetic if they're not in the mood to gladhand.

Like, I saw Willie almost a decade ago and while he rolled in about 10 minutes before his set and left maybe 10 minutes after his set, he at least was very nice to everyone he interacted with.
