Most Devoted Fan

Post by Yorkshire Lad »

If a competition was organised to find Leonards most devoted fan what would be the most appropriate indicator . There are a number of things that can be entered into the equation but what criteria would find the winner ?

I think it would be impossible to declare a winner in such a contest, since matters of the heart and mind are not tangible, and therefore cannot be measured. ;-)

Hi LisaLCFan
I think you are so right albums purchased , concerts attended , forum messages posted are simply objective ways of expressing your liking for the man and his music but what really matters is how that music affects your life and ultimately your soul.

TOUCHE to both of you! And in that context, many of us here would try to claim the #1 spot!

In this case, I think it does not matter who takes the no.1 spot - it's the force of our group that counts, and the invisible threads which link us all to him for life.

Love, passion, affection, desire, friendship, admiration, respect ... it all did not measure or consider. Can all just live ... ;-)

All these emotions on the forum and all because of Leonard . Hallelujah!!!
The Oxford English Definition of devotion is : The enthusiastic attachment or loyalty to a person or cause with great love . I think that probably puts every member of the forum in with a chance of winning the title of this thread
