: I just got done writing a response and it inspired a question. �Have you ever had a fan that blurred the boundary between fan and crazed-weirdo-stalker? (aside from us that is.) Anyone having dillusions about you communicating with them directly through their music? �Just wonderin'. �
: Point of reference: There's a song on the new Cracker album called superfan which deals directly with this topic. �It's pretty neato!

And don't forget "Stan," by Eminem. I'm not crazy about that guy's music, but that I caught him and Elton performing it last year, and thought the song was poignant.
"Fan" is never far from "fanatic" in my book. It's an interesting offshoot of the more widespread belief among western media watchers that they "know" the stars they like, and somehow participate in their lives.
By the way Paul,I liked your Hays, Kansas post. The person who turned me on to "Bedtime Stories" also did time out there, working on a Masters. Before your stint, evidently.
