Hmm. Well. Isn't that human nature? Who wants to be criticised all the time for every move you make? Especially people like Axl, Elvis, Michael and so on, who get criticised in the media daily, probably don't want that in their private lives too... and since most people they associate with are on their payroll another human nature kicks in, which makes sure that those people won't risk saying or doing anything that could get them off that payroll.
Oh, well. Some fires need to be extinguished. I don't see that as a bad thing.
