I think there's a huge diference between enjoying things, and actually identifying with them. Really we should derive enjoyment from anything, but there are certain things that really provide enjoyment. But if they provide a sense of self, separateness, and want, then that is coming from the ego. For instance, going with the rockstar idea, there's a difference between being a rockstar for the enjoyment of it, and being one in order to become the best. The first is from a place of peace and joy, while the latter is from the ego, focusing on separateness and lack.
