A fan is a fan when ?
Where is the point when one becomes a fan. I do like a lot pf guitar players, but, fan ? What makes a fan, anyway ?
O.K. all Streisand FANS come out of the woodwork and explain...

When your team loses.

I don't know what the definition of fan is...
There are certain bands/performers whose work I will buy without ever hearing the first note. There are certain ones that I will do my best to see if they go on tour, even if I have to park in San Francisco to do so. There are those whose albums, cassettes and cd's I've worn out (OK, I've yet to wear a cd out...) but I find myself drawn to them still, after all these years. There are those albums that are 30+ years old that are still as fresh as the day they came out to me and I still get just as excited listening to them. There are those performers that can turn me into a kid again when I see them in person. There are those whose songs almost ALWAYS get played when I pick up my guitar, not because its the only song I know, but because it truly brings me joy to connect in that way. There are some albums that I can't listen to without fantasizing what it must have been like in the moments those tracks were laid down. Sometime sgetting so lost in the moment of the music that I have to listen to the song again to actually hear it. There are certain artists whom I admire so much for reasons other than the music they've created. Those are some of the things that come to mind when I think of myself as a fan. Good question Bern. |

Hmmm... that is a very good question. I am only a fan of about one person I guess. His music is the only one I can't live without. He is about the only one I would turn to mush in front of. I like others and love many different songs, but i can't see myself going nuts to follow them around or get to see them.
So, I guess the definition of fan to me is.... what I am when I hear Josh Groban sing.

I think when you are a fan of someone, you'll know it. That's the only definition that matters.

Today, 3rd posted this link to a video by a duo I'd never heard of before:

I consider myself a fan of certain guitar players when I have quite a few (if not most) of their recordings, i.e. Randy Rhoads, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, Yngwie J. Malmsteen. I also like a lot of guitar players, but I just might have one of their recordings, i.e. Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Beppe Gambetta, Vinnie Moore, Tony Mac Alpine

I think once you tell someone else about an artist, you are then a fan. Of course, only when a positive word is spread.

My point is, if you have to rack your brain that hard to figure out whether or not you're a fan, you probably aren't. Or you're overthinking things just a wee bit.

I saw ladies using fans today at church, because it was a little crowded.
I wasn't a fan of them fanning me. I am always cold. (But, then again, you weren't talking about THAT kinna fan.) (Take me away, Cotten. Before they kick me out!)
