In the Oprah/Tolle webinars, Tolle received a similar question from this young guy, Josh (I think that's his name).
Josh asked, "what if I want to be a rockstar?"
And Tolle said, "do it! Have fun! Play with form!"
So basically, he's saying: absolutely, please, be a rockstar. However, you can be a rockstar coming from deep presence, or coming from ego. One leads to joy, and the other leads to suffering.
Being the rockstar isn't what causes the joy or suffering...it's where you're coming from.
