When something bad happens, we want to know why…the weirder and badder the event, the more we need to know… It can't possibly be random…someone needs to be responsible and held accountable…someone needs to be blamed…and there had better not be any loose ends… Certain segments of the population have always been suspicious of the official story…forget the simplest of most logical explanation…these awful events or phenomenon's are the work of some kind of secret cabal or organization pulling the strings of life on earth…it was a conspiracy… For example, the most famous murder of modern times was the assassination of JFK on November 22, 1963…more than sixty years later, it seems like no one believes that lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman… To be fair, they might be right…there's been a lot of investigation into the JFK case over the decades…i'm one of those nuts who reads, watches, and listens to everything involved with the assassination…and I gotta tell you that i'm convinced this was the result of a loose need-to-know operation involving the CIA, the deep stage, Cuban exiles, and American mobsters… There's also something called “Occam's razor” which dates back to the 14th century…this Monk—William of Occam—was annoyed at how people blamed supernatural forces when even the simplest thing went wrong…his answer to that was “look, the simplest and most obvious explanation is usually the correct one”… But try that approach with people who believe the earth is flat and that we never went to the moon…Covid-19 was engineered by the media…and the Illuminati live beneath the Denver airport… The world of conspiracy theories is a bottomless pit of weirdness…and when it comes to music, one of the deepest and strangest of these theories has to do with what happened above a greenhouse in Seattle on April 5, 1994… Boy, have I got stories—multiple stories, in fact—about this one…in fact, it might be the most compressive study you've ever heard on the subject…this is uncharted: music and mayhem in the music industry, episode 12: it's the ever-popular Kurt-Cobain-was-murdered theory… Learn more about your ad choices.

There have been many studies into the different types of music fans…basically, they can be broken down into four types… At the bottom of the pyramid are people who aren't fans at all…they don't like you or don't care about you…they may not even know who you are…so for the purposes of this discussion, they don't matter… The next level is casual fans…they sort of like you or your music, but they can take or leave what you're selling…they have zero investment in your career… Going up another level, we have true fans…they love you enough that they'll spend money on you…they'll stream your music faithfully, buy physical product like CD's or vinyl from time to time, probably own a t-shirt or two, and will go to your shows and have a very good time… At the very top are the superfans…superfans love, love, love you…they're evangelists…they follow your every move…they'll buy everything…they'll get involved and donate to your charitable causes…and they'll go to all of the shows…they may total 10% of your total fanbase but are the source of the majority of your income—like 60, 70, even 80%...they are the top of the fan pyramid… From there, though, we can cross over to the dark side…this is where we find the fantasists, the deluded, the obsessed, the trolls, and the insane…they are dangerous people, a threat to you and the people around you…and they show up when you least expect it…and if they break into your online world, that's a whole new level of terror… Have I got a story for you…The Linkin Park cyberstalker.
