I see where you're coming from, and I guess I'm sort of at the same place. I wouldn't want to trade in the knowledge that I have now.
Part of it was working with a band, following them on tour, seeing them backstage, traveling with them sometimes, hanging out with them in real life. The mystique goes away really quickly, and you realize they're just flawed people like everyone else.
I'm glad I experienced that; IMO it's better to see the truth, flaws and all, than be blinded by idealized mythology. I'm just going through a phase of missing those more innocent days, I suppose.
