Music fans are
everywhere. Here is just one story. I have
always enjoyed collecting musicians autographs. I
like getting celebrity autographs in general, but I
have a special place in my heart for music. I have
been listening to rock 'n roll since I was a very
young kid – pretty much everyone has –
but for me it was quite an obsession.
As a child I would learn
everything I could about music, and even collect
music memorabilia when I could find it. I would get
old 45s at local garage sales, and I even had a few
wax records from way back in a bygone
era.
Teenagers and College
Students are Fans Too!
My obsession did not stop
once I got to college either. People thought I was
weird because I would get musicians autographs from
local bands. I was just obsessed with getting a
piece of the action. I needed something to remember
a good show by. Even if I didn't particularly like
the band, I often would try to get the musicians
autographs as a sort of souvenir. I guess it was a
way of taking the night with me in a certain
sense.
The Music Autograph
Collection
Since then, my musician
autograph collection has grown. I have some of the
greats of rock 'n roll. Not only do I have a lot of
local figures, but I also have Iggy Pop, Keith
Richard, and even an autograph from Dave Mustaine.
I also have a great collection of music action
figures. I
Music
History
I have a lot of kids action
figures that were put out when I was a kid, as well
as the comic book that Alice Cooper did with Neil
Gaiman. And of course, my Jazz EP collection has
grown too. I loved vintage jazz albums more than
anything else in the world. I even liked the wear
and tear on the records – the scratchy sounds
and the muffled bits. Everything about it speaks to
me about the roots of American music.
How to Get Musicians
Autographs
A lot of people ask me about
getting musicians autographs. They ask how you
approach the subject. How do you go to a local
musician – someone who hasn't made it big yet,
but who you admire – and get their autograph?
My approach is always to keep
it simple. Just go up and ask! Most musicians will
be nice, and if they aren't, you still haven't lost
anything. Any recording artist who is going to look
down at you for showing that you are a fan of their
music is probably not worth your time anyway! Now,
get that signature.
