as promised we are going to try and keep this as a regular monthly feature. last month fleming vs. red fraggle got us off to a good start and we had a lot of positive feedback......so thank you everybody who contributed. this month we have endeavoured to produce the definitive reasons of 'you know you have been a fleming & john fan to long when......' this is not only 'fun' but it also allows us to realise how much f&j are capable of affecting us. does that sound crazy? well judging by the recent comments on AListCalledLove we think that you know what we are talking about. anyway...here goes.......

you know that you have been a fleming and john fan too long when................

1. you swear that you are going to call your kids 'fleming' for a girl and 'john' for a boy.
2. you find yourself verbally attacking anyone who claims to not have heard of f&j....something along the lines of...'what sort of rubbish do you listen to then?'
3. you know other people only because of your shared interest of f&j
4. you here someone talking and you think 'oh that is in a f&j song'
5. you know all about mysterious and unheard of instruments...with unpronouncable names...from all over the world (especially india and asia)
6. you know what tracks you would put on a 12track best of.... album
7. you know that to find good stuff at auction you type 'fleming & john' on Ebay....as opposed to 'fleming and john'
8. when you have an opinion as to whether or not fleming & john's music counts in the 'christian' music catergory.
9. when you say..'oh.....murfreesboro....oh yes....i know someone who lives there'
10. when you realise that your musical tastes have become blinkered and short-sighted....because no matter how hard other artists try...they 'just don't sound as good'.
11. you know the story of 'the pearl' because of the song.....not the book.

last months 'fun feature'....which we entitled fleming vs. red fraggle.....is currently in our fun features archive.
