What is a Fanatic?

Everybody seems to have their own definition of who is a fanatic.

Some say a fanatic is a someone who dresses up in purple outfits for Prince shows. Others say a fanatic is someone who pays $1,000 for a replica Prince guitar that they don't know how to play. Others say a fanatic is anyone who goes to see Prince more than three times on the same tour. music

What, to you, is fanatical behavior question

Fanatic- One having [EXCESSIVE] zeal for and [IRRATIONAL] attachment to a cause or position. Now let's take a look at those two words, "excessive" and "irrational". Now, would you like to be discribed in that way in your admoration of PRINCE?

Well, I will admit that I have done a few "irrational" things. I once decided on the spur of the moment to fly to Minneapolis for a Friday nite party at the last minute. smile

The round trip plane ticket, plus taxi fare to and from Paisley, came to over $600. I guess you could say that was an irrational act. But I did get to experience a nice party with a 30-minute Prince performance in the L4OA room, which was the first time and probably the only time I will ever see Prince perform at Paisley.

I'm not sure if being a long time fan necessarily means that the person will know how far to go smile
