The Best And The Rest 214

I know how it is to be a true blue fan.  I’ve lined up in queues just to get an autograph, I’ve even slept in a sleeping bag outside a mall just to get tickets to a concert in the U.S.  I’ve bought stacks of magazines of my favorites even if it’s just a line or two about them.  I’ve had shouting matches at the top of my voice during debates in defense of my favorites when pitted against another.  It’s not an alien concept for me to be a rabid fanatic of a celebrity in music or movies.
