Most people don't think in terms of lists. (At least, I don't think they do.) But for fans, collectors, and those of us who are maybe slightly obsessive about a particular area of interest, categories and lists really do matter. They're part of how we engage with the world, and with others. But these can also be a mask shielding us from dealing with greater realities—and keep us from growing as people. People, including fans, need something more than lists. And definitely something more than a string of broken relationships, a semi-failing business, and a collection of unanswered questions, fears, and anxieties.

Even if we do have a great record collection.
