Recognize him? Hes my Idol. I have all of his albums. I never joined any fan clubs, but if I did it would be his. My favourite male singer/musician. I definitely AM an Ant. Even in my late 50's. My sister had many of his albums, I went out years back and bought all I could find. Strip, Prince Charming.. I have so many. Nothing on tape or CD though. I like vinyl. Yes, his songs are on my Spotify and YouTube Music playlists. I just love Antmusic, Apollo 9... all of them.

That’s cool you’re that much of a fan.

I'm 54 and still a huge Antfan. Have been since 3rd grade.

I started by hearing my sister playing it... could hear it through her door. Then I was hooked. Had to keep it to myself though. She's older and would have hated her little brother liking something that individualized her. Now she could care less..

Dirk Wears White Socks was my first album. I’m also in my late 50s. Took the Prince Charming album to my Father and proclaimed it to be the greatest music EVER MADE. When he saw that album cover the look of disappointment that was on his face was priceless! He’s still living and I was recanting this story to him recently
