adulation

What seemed more likely during Saturday’s show, the second of two in Inglewood, is that Lynne has simply realized he has no use for the rock-star adulation to be had on the road.

But “Fanatical” also tells a broader story about the blurriness of identity on the early social internet and about the toxic pop-star adulation that enabled Fegan to manipulate super fans eager to get close — maybe too close — to their musical hero.

He was already the most celebrated Dodger before his 21st birthday, and he rode this wave of adulation for 11 years, capped by a 1990 no-hitter after which Scully urged Dodger fans, “If you have a sombrero, throw it to the sky!”

At a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, Trump’s erratic and frequently offensive behavior — which is a principal factor in the limitless adulation of his followers — reached a new low, even by his standards.

It is not often backroom teams get public adulation and namechecks, but Mr McCobb did in Sir Ed Davey’s speech - so central was he to the party's current standing.
