Alright so you know how everyone Loves the Beatles?

No wait a better example would be Justin Bieber.  You know how all the girls love him and whenever he takes off his shirt all the girls go CRAZY?  And at his concerts he needs security guards because every girl wants his...  You know...  Yeah, we all know those people, they're freaking annoying...  All they do is spam my facebook newsfeed with freaking Justin Bieber photos.  I freaking ATTACK them!!!  I do my best to make them feel as bad as possible, I don't *** around!  If you spam my newsfeed with Justin Bieber sh*t, it's going down!!!  Stop posting this freaking 'Omg I love Justin Bieber, he's gonna be my husband  :-* :-* :-*' bullshit okay!!!  STOP!!!!!!!!!! 


so anyways, Liszt was like that.  Except on steroids.  People would faint at the sight of him, like people would be throwing up at his concerts.  Girls would run on stage and try to rip his hair off, whenever he would break piano strings, girls would fight to get their hands on them so they could make them into bracelets, people would even DRESS UP as him when they went to his concerts.  It was a legit disease, people would literally go crazy when they were around him.  There's one story where Liszt throws a cigar on the ground in some sewer thing, and some lady runs out side to get the cigar and then sniffs it for a bit then locks it in a box so she can keep it forever. 

Like actually though, he was pretty popular.

If you see his younger pictures, he was a pretty good looking guy... and fashionable... and musician. Put these together, doesn't take a genius! Probably first music star in western world. Only difference was he didn't play for the masses, so only rich fans.

I was told there was a porn movie with that title.

But that was back before google, and since then I've never had enough curiosity to check.
