Read the passage below and decide whether the statements are TRUE or
FALSE?
Check out these sure signs of true music lovers. See how many of them you can relate
to, and find out just how big of a music fan you actually are.
1. You Really Did Like that Band Before They Were Famous
A lot of people make this claim, but not everyone can back it up. You, on the
other hand, have a copy of a CD the band actually burned themselves complete with
hand-drawn art. You own a limited-edition T-shirt they sold when they were still
playing dive bars in no-name towns. In fact, the drummer even crashed on your coach
one night after he partied too hard, and the rest of the band left without him. You saw
the group’s rise to fame coming, and no one can question that.

2. It’s Impossible to Answer the Question “What’s Your Favorite Album?”

Top five lists are one thing, but when people ask you to pick just one album as
your all-time favorite … that’s ridiculous. With so much good music out there, it
would be a disservice to the diverse history of music to decide on only one. That’s
like asking a mother to choose her favorite child. You love them all for different
reasons.

3. You Always Have Recommendations for Friends and Family

Being a huge music fan means you not only understand what you like, you also
have an intuitive sense of what others will enjoy. It doesn’t matter if it’s your
grandma, your college roommate, or your boss, you can introduce anyone to
something fresh and exciting that will expand their appreciation of music. Everybody
needs at least one friend like that.

4. Your Music Collection is Meticulously Organized

Big-time music fans can get a bit obsessive about cataloguing their music
collections. Whether it’s physical albums or digital tracks, you’ve got a system that
can’t be messed with. Maybe you organize it by genre and then alphabetize by band
name. Perhaps you’ve created a hierarchy based on Billboard chart performance or a
timeline following the year each album was released. You most likely own a massive
external hard drive containing subfolders within subfolders filled with mp3s. Some
may call you crazy, but when you love something, you take good care of it.

51: There are 4 main signs to see if one person is a big music fan.
A. True B. False
