Stars...and their Fans

eddie g's picture

I vaguely remember something similar to this in a previous strand so apologies if I've indulged in a bit of Harrisonesque subliminal 'adaptation'....but I just wondered if this is how some fans of the artists below really 'are'....feel free to add your own.

The Rolling Stones- You have a grey ponytail and play bass in a pub blues band every Friday.
Van Der Graaaf Generator- You don’t like people very much and you have a degree in Electronics.
Jesus and Mary Chain- You don’t like people very much and you have an O-level in Art.
Yes- You’ve tried to get into jazz and classical but can’t quite manage it.
King Crimson- you have glasses and wear a lot of dark clothes.
The Smiths- It’s a quiff. Not receding.
David Bowie- It upsets you that other peole don’t realize just how fascinating you really are.
Kate Bush- Deep down you think that, if you met her, you’d really get on and that she’d leave that dorky-looking bass player she’s living with.
The Stone Roses- You stole some hubcaps once.
Manic Street Preachers- You never quite understand why all those literary magazines keep sending your poems back.
The Jam- You’ve never actually owned a scooter.
Joni Mitchell- There’s this yoga thing you go to every Tuesday which is really very therapeutic.
The Beatles- You’re different. They’d have actually accepted you into their inner circle.
Bob Dylan- You have six harmonicas in a drawer.
Primal Scream- Sometimes you worry that everyone else is a bit cleverer than you.
Oasis- Everyone else is a quite a bit cleverer than you but you don’t give a shit.
Cliff Richard- It’s so funny how we don’t drive anymore.
Queen- You have a motorhome.
Elvis- You never went to college.
Grateful Dead- You have over 700 albums. All of them by The Grateful Dead.
Frank Zappa- When you talk it kinda comes out like a sneer.
Michael Jackson- You reckon Jesus probably looked a bit like Mowgli.

That said Patrick

Who, but you or the band themselves, respects them enough to spell their name with the "@" intact...?
Could it be you're a secret fan and thus by your own definition a secret offstage member of The 'Wear?
(I seem to recall you already confessed to playing pool in the Good Mixer in the 90s. Was it here you and your gang plotted your ascent to the bargain bins of Britain?)

Well

I have the works of 18 of those listed artists on the iPod. And we're talking several albums worth of each.

Clearly I am a confused chap.

Or I am another:

Radiohead fan - Glasses, degree from a lesser university, tendency towards lists (Numbered)
