I don't think that is true, actually. It happens by chance I have quite an inside view of Tori fandom, although I think this applies outside that example to the fans of other artists. Her fans care a lot about her music, and really do pay attention to details. They are extremely interested in what she does and why, and they do investigate it to learn more. Her music means a lot to them, so they care to learn more about it, whether its on an emotional plane of why she wrote a song or a technical plane of how she recorded it. I remember once being dragged to a listening party for one of her album pre-releases. The liner notes described her as playing not just piano, but harpsichord, leslie, and marshall. The people there were really curious to know what a "leslie" and a "marshall" were, and since I happened to know I explained it for them. They were fascinated that she was playing her harpsichord through a cranked Marshall guitar amp and running her piano through Leslie speakers. (so was I, actually.) They were fascinated to learn about a speaker that spun around. They listened back to the songs that used those sounds so they could understand what it sounded like and think about why Tori wanted that sound there. I think I later even had to write something for some Tori fan list explaining Leslie speakers. I don't know if any of those fans later went out and bought Marshall stacks for their harpsichords, (I try not to pay quite that much attention to them...) but they were undeniably interested in it just because of Tori and it was not initially obvious to them at all. Don't underestimate that power. In fact, from what I understand dt, you can expect some significant increase in album sales yerself just for appearing on her album..... kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
