It's only fringe if your focus is on top 40.
That's a pretty narrow focus.
Fringe means it’s highlyspecialized and only a few people like it.
Do you know who Black Gold is?
I’m a horse-racing fan, and I love history. He even had a book about him by a very popular children’s author, but I don’t expect even most people to have a clue.
I could even ask the same about Wee Willie Keeler.
Even in racing or baseball (very popular) circles many will not know them.
So yes, I’m a fringe sort of person with that. I don’t expect most to know what I mean.
