No worries .. You can get Stones T-Shirts at Flea Markets, TJ Maxx, even Carnaby Street Store( Although the Tongues in that store are the wrong shade of red).
Talk about your favorite band.

You must dutifully moan about the setlists on every tour without fail. Particularly if it includes Miss You.

Get an ugly tattoo (like a 3rd grade rendition of the "lips") and stalk band members...

You don't need to be rick to be a superfan. You just need to listen to their music, a lot, you need to love what they do and what they play, and you need to have your mind on them at all hours. Also, you need to dream about them at nights, and at daytime you need to wonder about when the next show will happen.
I have noticed the marketing machine is pumping out new packages of color vinyl etc of all sorts, of all the releases. They may be nice to own if you have a large house and a large income, but spending money on "stuff" does not really make you a superfan.
It is all about the love of the band, and their music. Loving them comes free of charge, luckily.

If you only have a couple of t-shirts that's really not being a superfan.
That's weak. That's a weakfan.

If you are lucky enough to be able to travel abroad to see our boys, take the opportunity to talk to and be friendly with fellow fans.
I live in Scotland but have made lifelong friends with several American and European fans. Plus had many great evenings before and after gigs with fans from all over the world.
But a Superfan moment happened in Amsterdam the night before the 2017 gig. In small bar where our tribute band were playing. After they'd finished, an Aussie guy was being a bit obnoxious (didn't seem like a fan - not sure why he was there)....boring everyone with his views about gay marriage etc.
He then proceeded to slag off Mick. Some of the young Irish lads I'd made pals with took exception to this.
Staring the guy right in the eye, my new Irish mate said - "Don't you slag off Mick Jagger. He's the second greatest rock star that ever lived".
Aussie guy, somewhat bemused that he was being eyeballed and challenged said, "Oh yeah, and who's the greatest?".
"Keith Richards!".....
Aussie guy exited with tail between legs shortly afterwards....(most Aussies are great!)
So I suppose being willing to face down a dickhead makes you a proper Superfan...

so I guess I can't be a superfan.

Haha... I always have associated the term 'superfan' to our moderator and to the way I've seen him using it: referring to the people who follow the Stones from gig to gig all over the world.
But funny article that one... Never thought being a superfan or even 'just' a fan of anything is a question of rational choice or of a free will. As something someone would like to identify oneself, like it was such a cool thing to do or something. I think it is more like a fate... 'A some kind of chemical reaction' as Mick once put it.... It hits you and then you go and follow your destiny.... Asking 'do you want to be a Stones superfan?' is more like asking 'do you want to be an alcoholic?' than 'do you want to be an active supporter of human rights?', and then give a list of recommendations of what to do... Probably most people just prefer a drink or two here and there, not to be drunk all the time (or longing for a next drink all the time)...
When I think of myself, 'being a Rolling Stones fan' is not very high on the list when I think of my best qualities, or at least not something I particularly am proud of. But then again, when I met someone - anytime, anywhere - who happens to share my feelings toward that particular music group, I rate that trait very high... it goes beyond all the boundaries set by anything (language, politics, profession, culture, class, age, etc.). Like there is such a mutual understanding that goes from soul to soul. And being affected so passionally by their doings, gives me personally so much satisfaction, even though sometimes it feels like a guilty pleasure...
