fans

We have seen year after year the passion you have for music, and the way you have always been incredibly passionate fans, even though Hanson has not always been the coolest thing to be into.

Bruce has always been so nice to me, which is crazy, because he's one of my heroes. I'll never forget being at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony the year Bruce and Paul McCartney were inducted. We were at the bar, and Bruce was talking to Paul, and he turned to me and said, 'I can't believe I'm talking to Paul McCartney!' I thought, 'I can't believe I'm talking to Bruce Springsteen, who's talking to Paul McCartney!

Fame is not so impossible for people with charisma, passion and talent. Being famous just means you have fans, and even one or two is enough to make you someone special. Ask a music fan who the best guitarist of all time is, and while one group insists that it was Jimmi Hendrix, another group swears that it was Eddie Van Halen instead. There will never be a time when everyone on this planet agrees on something like that, but luckily that's not important. All that matters is that both sides remain loyal, which they will assuming you continue to be who you are and do your thing. This is all that you need to be immortalized.

My new album that I'm creating, which is finished pretty much, was written with this new instinctual energy that I've developed getting to know my fans. They protect me, so now it's my destiny to protect them.

It is by continuing to put out good work that the artist best shows his gratitude.

To be perfectly honest, if I had my way women wouldn__ even be allowed inside grounds, and I certainly believe that if a ground is sold out and a male of the species is locked outside, someone should go in, grab the nearest female and throw her out so that the bloke can have her seat.

Women__ football is crap. If it were any good people would go and watch it, but it isn__ and they don__. And, to be honest, I doubt they ever will.

Well we certainly don't want to see that kind of thing,_ admonished Jeff Stelling. __id it calm down?___o,_ shouted Kamara. __t got worse. The police were just getting involved when the chairman was hit by a pie thrown from the crowd.___as he injured?_ asked Stelling, struggling to suppress a giggle.__ don__ think so,_ laughed Kamara. __e sat down and started eating it!

I think you're a shit,_ said Keith sharply. __ think much of what you__e done this season is shit and I think what you've put everyone involved with this club through is shit. How__ that?

Oh really?_ said Mayes raising a mocking eyebrow which put Rob in mind of a poor man__ Roger Moore. __nd what on earth makes you think that you of all people would be allowed anywhere near our board meeting? Rob__ smile widened as he realised that he was about to have one of those golden bombshell moments of the type he__ been on the receiving end of all too frequently over the last few days. __ecause Mr. Mayes, I__ your new chairman.

You see football isn__ just about 90 minutes, it__ about passion and, yes, if you like, about life. We men will do things under the umbrella of football fandom that we would never dream of doing in any other sphere of life, and within the pages that follow I will try and explain why.

A game?_ Rob spluttered. __ bloody game?_ He turned to face his father. __his is your bloody fault! I__ living your bloody karma!

One of the things about football fans in general is that they all think that they__e the same. But they are not. This is a myth put about by people who wish that they were the same as the geezers. There are, in fact, a number of distinctive types of supporter, and although they all have a role to play, they are all very different indeed.

You have a very open relationship with your fans.""Yes. We have an open relationship. Obviously they can see other authors if they want, and I can see other readers.

The relationship I have with my Hispanic fans is very deep and intricate.

Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.

I had to satisfy the action fans, the romantic fans, the intellectual fans. It was a terrific burden.

I have learned to smile when I wasn't happy, to sing when I didn't feel like it, and to do things just to please my fans.
