Yeah, you should definitely have your "real fan" status revoked if, God

rushing out and buying your favorite rock star's new record.

But for those of us with lives, buying a $12 Cd on the way home is a
heckofa lot easier than buying a $100 ticket and trucking out to
Shedsville for the night to see a show. So why would you do B) without
doing A) and as a result, go to a show clueless? That was his point,
not that a "real fan" is obligated to buy the CD.

I know. I just get caught up in the "real" or "diehard" vs "casual"
fan stuff. It's a goofy distinction that sounds like something you
ought to be ordering off of the back of a cereal box.

"Casual fan" is an oxymoron, unless you're talking about dress code.
