Am I a true Soulie

About 3 years ago someone told me I wasn't a Soulie because I didn't go to Wigan or any of the old legendry places associated with northern soul, and the fact that I have been going to weekenders and soul nights for the last 15+ years did not make me a Soulie,

Then this morning one of my sons Tony said "mom you've turned into a proper Soulie"

Then the conversation went like this

Me "No I'm not"

Tony "You are, do you go to soul do's every weekend?"

Me "Yes"

Tony "Do you love listening to the music?"

Me "Yes"

Tony "Do you enjoy dancing to the music?"

Me "Yes"

Tony "You are a Soulie"

So am I a Soulie ?

For me its not where you have been or how long you have been going, its how you feel when you are there that makes you a true Soulie

You know your a soulie when, you start to moan about anything thats been played before, when you know you know better than anyone on the planet whats best to listen to /dance to, and when you shout from the rooftops that anybody that disagrees with your tastes is a HANDBAGGER,

Until such time your just a lightwieght,

Sorry

I think your son has defined perfectly what a Soul fan is about and that is having a passion for soul music. It can manifest in different ways. Some love dancing, others collecting records, others travelling all over to hear different DJs and some do it all. If any idiot tried to tell me I wasn't a real soul fan I'd tell him to go and grow up. It sounds like playground politics to me. Wonkers wanker.gifwanker.gifwanker.gif
