Is it really even necessary to split the list into "musicians," and "fans."
I'd argue that there's no difference. Some of the musicians I know are the
biggest fans in the world, and some of the fans are great musicians. No
difference at all.
We're all here because we care passionately about music. Some of us play it.
Some us don't No biggie. :)

radio is dead where I live.
