I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...hmmmm....I've changed this alot, I'll make it simple, for my own reasons, I cant be one of the people that can go to ten, twenty shows a year, more power to those who can, I can see these guys once or twice and be happy in that fact, I am proud of their accomplishments and look forward to what happens next for them, they have a long and great future ahead of them. I will be there to buy their albums as soon as they are released, I get just as excited as everyone else when I hear their songs on the radio, but, at the same time I respect their private lives as it probably is very little and very precious to them. I cant tell people to be their fans, that is a personal decision, to each their own, I am a fan, have been from the beginning, go guys, you rock!
