I think everyone in Life has an idol in which money is spent on tickets, merchandise etc. We normally choose an idol or have a fasination with one subject because it truly reflects our own lifes maybe cause it takes us away from reality or when we young or happy. I know people dont just do it in music but also movies and Tv etc. People have fasinations with shows or characters from shows ie People who collect Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny items . And I tink it is really normal and healthy to a degree. I place Meatloaf on a pederstal because he truly reflects my life and his music seems like its a part of my life. And yes I spend lots of money on items related to meatloaf. I also think that people dont just do one particular person or era. I also like many of the 70s groups like the Eagles and so on. So I dont think there is nothing wrong with it as also society also encourages this kind of action with autograph hounds and movie posters or even clothing lines froim that star.
