So I had a fangirl squee moment, seeing Roger MacKenzie in the opening of episode four “Of Lost Things”. He, Brianna, and Claire are playing history detective, trying to locate where Jamie went after the Battle of Culloden. They find his name among a list of prisoners in Ardsmuir.

Whether it’s defacing public places with lyrics or dropping everything to fly to another country to see a favorite band play, we’ve all been superfans in our own way. In the spirit of Fanuary, we’ve decided to share a few times we let our music fandom shine.
While Lil Wayne has, to the best of my knowledge, spent around 70% of his career so far behind bars, you don’t need to share his level of passion for drugs and weapon possession to end up in an orange jumpsuit.
