Fandom

***FANDOM*** The very reason we are all here, the reason why I blog for TAT Heads because good or bad we are all a part of a fandom for one man. We need not tear each other down. We all have our responsibilities in our own lives, in our fandom, and we are all a part of Vino Alan. As a fan it deeply saddens me when others feel the need to slander Vino because of his relationship status, his home l...ife, and his past or lash out because we don’t agree with something another fan posts. Vino is a man of many names, many lives, many colors, but none the less he is still our man. He is the man that has brought to light what goodness truly is. He sacrifices himself and the needs of his family for others. He has selflessly offered his soulful sound to support those who protect our freedom, our liberty, and our peace. Vino has a future in our hearts because what he has offered us in the present. He has given hope and inspiration to many. He has put his life on display for others to scrutinize. He is not perfect as none of us are infallible, but he is damn close to being an angel and a terrific role model for all those who are willing to open there heart and mind so that we may be graced with his song. He is happy, he is pursuing his dreams, and in that pursuit we all stand to gain. Let us support Vino and the revitalization of music by respecting the man that he is. Please fans think before you post a derogatory comment on his wall. Think before you tell someone they are wrong for asking questions. Think before you ostracize another because of the art they offer to help raise Vino to success. The sketches, the Photoshop, the poetry, it is a part of all of us. As a fandom we have assisted Vino in achieving his dream. Each and every one of us matter. Please show some respect for the man, the music, the supporters, and yourself by just having #madluv for the blessing we have been given. VNation, VinosVixens, VinoFans, TeamVino, VinosCougars, it does not matter your affiliation; it does not matter if you have no affiliation. We are all simply put HereForVino so let’s send that love to him. -Clarice Mersi

***Vinoteers*** We started out as four women. Four single mothers. Four individuals. Until one night four women in different states within the US bore witness to the most unearthly event they would ever know. I won’t lie, as I walked past the television I rolled my eyes, said to my daughter “this show is a joke.” To prove my point at that very moment a man stepped onto the stage. He was wearing a blue plaid flannel, black t-shirt, a grey knit cap and faded jeans. He was cute yes, but when he unveiled his bald head exposing the tattoos I had the same reaction as the judges. Yeah, I thought he was a thug. Really my first thought was what a joke no way this guy can sing. But then he did. He sang so potently I had to take a seat. I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. I was completely awestruck. Without warning I was hooked. I couldn’t stop his name from entering my head. Crazy considering I can’t remember my own name half the time, let alone someone else’s. The voice it haunted my dreams, it kept me awake at night, it vexed my soul. I watched several episodes before finally opening a twitter account. The first week the public voted as a matter of fact. My very first post read @VinoAlan third place isn’t so bad. As a response Vino was my first follower. OMGee almost wet myself from excitement. That was when I met my girls. Well they trickled in slowly. As my girl Nell Wagz says “you’re an acquired taste.” The inspiration hit soon after and I began to open up with the poetry I write. Then my poetry transformed into a story about Vino and my new friends. Rebekah Lynn Dow said “Roses are red, Violets are blue, chill out girl you scaring the crew.” Ha, that was when I was the anonymous poet. It is great what people say about you when they don’t know it’s you. Last night thanks to J’Noe and Vino Alan four women are preparing to step out of their element. Brave an epic journey, as they not only meet one another, but venture forth to meet the many people that have become involved in the pursuit to help Vino Alan rise to the top. Follow us as we prepare for the event of a life time. The once in a life time opportunity Rebekah Lynn Dow, Nell Wagz, Rebecca Becca, and Clarice Mersi will undertake in order to strengthen a friendship, meet a hero, greet his family that was gracious enough to accept them, and offer their respect to J’Noe for bringing it all together. -Clarice Mersi
