For a moment I thought this was an invitation to post metal and got quite excited.
I'm posting some metal:
YES!

It seems Julien Temple directed this.

In one of my lectures about genre and aesthetics and fandom, I share an anecdote from high school. When Judas Priest released Turbo, the metal fans I knew were livid. "Fucking pussies sold out with synthesizers and shit." Metal could not include synths, apparently. Fans are all about establishing what isn't allowed.
Pat and I watched the Paul Lynde Halloween Special tonight. Pat seemed taken by some pervert with a long tongue in a rock and roll combo called The Kisses [sic]. Lynde used to be a superb center square but he's trawling the sewers with these transvestites. - excerpt from Richard Nixon's diary, 29 October 1976

I don't know much about Judas Priest's music, but I have heard Rob Halford interviewed a number of times and he seems like a really lovely man (I mean that sincerely).
Got a Rake? Sure!

I've been trying to think of a new word for this type of person. They aren't really fans, are they? Or perhaps, using the original definition of "fanatic," they are, and we need a new word for people that actually like the art form in question rather than making it a mental handicap.

I've come to the conclusion that, no, that is what a fan is. Artists want freedom to fulfill their needs, fans seek to constrain that freedom so that their needs aren't disrupted. When the two interests fit, it's great, but fans fundamentally prefer stasis. I've largely stopped using the word fan to describe myself. But I could be persuaded to moderate my views.

"Appreciator" maybe.

Yeah, I was thinking somewhere along the lines of "supporter."

Yeah that makes sense, and already exists as a phrase when suffixed to "art." It also leaves room for open-mindedness.

I think this was also around the time that some metal fans got wind of the fact that Rob is gay.
