Interesting question... I don't think past attachments are EVER false. They 
reflect what was true, or felt true, at the time they were experienced. Any 
juvenilia can seem silly or even embarrassing in retrospect but I believe it's 
important to respect even past sillinesses and shabby aesthetics since they sent 
us, by  perhaps awkward routes, to whatever it is we have now become and will 
tomorrow continue to becoming. That's why I admit, even in my present refined 
and elevated intellectual state, that yes I did see Iron Butterfly in concert 
not once but twice.
