Hi all, been a while since I posted to the org but apparently I've been well remembered, I come back to some notes from people who have decided in my absence that I deserve forum post hall of fame status for a post I once made to someone's "what is a fam" question. For those of you who still don't see how the 3 major classes of Prince "enthusiasts" break down I will celebrate my return to forum posting with a redux of that message. Laugh, Cry, Shout, Pout, see where you fit in. Good to be back on the org! ¶ēą¢ė, Måĉ

There will always be obsessive or irrational people in "fam" AND "fan" camps. I prefer to count myself as a "casual enthusiast" when it comes to someone wanting to put a label on ME.

Generally speaking, the stereotypes go:

FAM =

FAN =

Then there's the rest of us:

I am a fan(atic)!

If I were a fam(ily) then he would let me call him and come over to his house and recording studio and welcome me with open arms and NOT have me arrested! I am a fan!
