Ahhh, okay, that makes a bit more sense. XD My (admittedly not terribly in-depth) initial information-gathering sprees brought up that it was an honours degree from sometime after he became a rockstar and I was -- considerably surprised and rather impressed, ahaha -- but upon further research that doesn't appear anywhere beyond blogs/Wikipedia/the like. (And I can see how the mix-up would have occured.) I've gotten so spoiled by bands/scenes that developed their fanbase mostly post-big-Internet-fandoms -- okay, I really mean by bandom XD;; -- it seems much easier to find reliable chronologies and such.

I'm somewhere between genuine emotional investment and not wanting to spoil the story arc. XD What it comes down to is that I like happy endings and this fanbase really seems to deserve one.
