How to tell if you're addicted to country music

We all love country music, right? But some people are a little more involved than others. Here's how to tell if you are addicted. :)

Difficulty Level: easy      Time Required: 10 minutes.


Here's How:
  1. You know your favorite country artist's birthday, birthplace, residence, husband's/wife's name, kids names, pets names.. you get the picture.
  2. You have named one or more of your children after your him/her.
  3. You've even named your pets after your favorite country music artist.
  4. You've seen every concert he/she has ever given within a radius of 200 miles from your home.
  5. You can recite all the lyrics to his/her songs forwards, backwards, AND in a foreign language.
  6. You have sold one or more personal items in order to have the money to pay for first row seats at his/her show from a ticket broker.
  7. You have copies of each of your favorite country artist's releases in both cassette, and CD version. (plus 8-track, if applicable.)
  8. You have a tattoo of his/her face, or autograph somewhere on your body.
  9. You have posters and photos of him/her all over your bedroom wall (to your husband's/wife's dismay).
  10. Not only have you seen your favorite country artist locally; you've even traveled across the country, or OUT of the country to see him/her.
Tips:
  1. Ok, rate your addition: 1-4 - You are a faithful fan, and while you love your country music artist, he/she doesn't take up your whole life.
  2. 5-7 - You're borderline addicted. Your star has met you several times and knows you by name.
  3. 8-10 - No doubt about it, you are addicted!! Welcome to the club!
