I love the cover of this book. And I'm not much of a concert-goer, but music and all that surrounds it is a huge part of our culture. I think this book can be understood as a cultural recollection of the period the author experienced. Congratulations!

"Just a Fan" by John R. Lyman is more than a memoir—it's a backstage pass to 900+ concerts, wild road trips, and the raw highs of a lifelong rock fan. Honest, hilarious & heartfelt, it's a music lover's dream, told band-by-band. Congratulations on being BOTD!

Concert going, when I was younger, was a blast. They were under $20. Not like today when some of the tickets are a few hundred dollars.

Even though I haven't read the book, I did read the review and it grabbed my attention. The notion of someone seeing the Counting Crows 92 times is fascinating—in the best possible way! It sounds like a book that goes beyond mere concerts and explores real-life scenarios.

Reading snippets of "Just a Fan" by John R. Lyman reminds me of what I'd give to attend a BTS concert. The author's story felt like my dream life. Congratulations on BOTD.

"Just a Fan" by John R. Lyman follows the wild, musical, journey through the eyes of a determined fan. Lyman has attended over 900 concerts through the years and still going. Anyone that's a fan and loves music will appreciate his story of drugs, sex, and Rock and Roll. Cool BOTD

Memoirs aren’t my cup of tea, but this book sounds genuinely interesting. It’s admirable that the author maintained his passion for attending concerts, starting at age 14 and continuing for over 40 years. Now, he’s sharing all those experiences - and that’s worth respecting.
