I am John's littlest fan. No, literally, I am like only six inches tall and I live in a shoe.

Just wanted you to know.


do I have to hit you over the head with it?

John,
I would like to think I am in the top 5% of biggest fans, but I am probably really somewhere in the top 10% to 15% bracket since I've never driven more than two hours as of yet to see a show and I've only got a handful of physical albums and the one t-shirt and gig poster. My report card would say NEEDS IMPROVEMENT. But you are pretty dang awesome, guy.

how did the word "fan" even come about?

from "fanatic?"

a person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal.

yeah, i guess so.

huh.

the fanatics is a great band name, just fyi.

I think it's a shortened version of "Fantastic. You yelled out "Golden Boy" during a slow song again. Way to go, guy." which has roots in a similar saying used by Charles Dickens regarding requests of A Christmas Carol during readings of Bleak House.

John,

I'm your biggest fan. Proof: I stole your shoes in Minneapolis. Or maybe that was Gary Kemp of Spandau Ballet. Anyway, I always wanted to tell you that my favorite album is "Heart Like a Sky", even though no one else likes it.

You know what? I'm thinking of Gary Kemp from Spandau Ballet.

This made me laugh very hard.

I admire him for his snazzy jacket on the Last Happy Night of Your Life tour. And also for that one song with the guitar, it sounded like it was recorded on a boombox? And also those other songs that sound like he was in a studio. Those are good too.

Hey John I am not one fo your biggest fans. I simply and far too behind the curve, only being 16 has greatly impeded my chances at being your "biggest" fan. I am almost ashamed to admit that the fist i ever heard of you was on Moral Orel when No Children was featured. Although somewhat proud that I had the faith to go and get Tallahassee the next day. Well I'm telling a useless story but still I felt I must justify why I am not your biggest fan. But if you ever read this COME TO TORONTO. Between you UNKLE and the Slackers, those 3 shows would complete my concert life and I would never need to go to another show again.

Moral Orel is as good of a way to get into tMG as any other.

Well, you all might admire his mind and music, but I admire the Get Lonely swoop the most.

That is so cool attercop. I admire your fandom. Which reminds me that I have to finish my tMG t shirt in a few days so I'm ready for the concert grinning smiley

I think there needs to be a survey of some sort to actually determine who the #1 fan is. The trick would be making sure it was stuff you couldn't just Google. There could multiple rounds of trivia, and the winner then gets the prize of knowing they are the #1 tMG fan, if you consider being the #1 of something a prize.

Although stalking IS the highest form of flattery, John going to 505 W Chapel Hill st. to file a restraining order would take up valuable song writing/recording time, and thus be a BAD thing. Therefore we should all resolve to stalking lesser indy-rock stars, who could benefit from our attention.

Instead of following anyone, let's all just start DRESSING like PPH. Devotion cred as well as probable help in OTHER areas too.
