Re: Just Had Breakfast
That is fucking brilliant mate. I would have been tongue tied myself, the bloke is like a god to me for what he did with the Jam.

Re: Just Had Breakfast
He’s obviously used to meeting idiots like us he was really good about it. I reminded him of an interview he did recently where he said he is constantly meeting 50 year old blokes who tell him how they grew up with him. He likes that.

Re: Just Had Breakfast
A friend of mine, when he was just getting started in the journalism game, got a chance to meet Elvis Costello backstage. EC was one of his favourite artists and when the moment came, he froze. He stammered something about "You wrote some of my favourite songs," and EC shivved him with his eyes. "Yeah, okay," and walked away.

I've met Joe and Mick but on both occasions I'd had a few beers which must have relaxed me somewhat.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑29 Jan 2018, 7:12amA friend of mine, when he was just getting started in the journalism game, got a chance to meet Elvis Costello backstage.

Re: Just Had Breakfast
I wonder, too, whether it's easier for musician-fans to relax because you already speak a common language that is the basis of the fandom. Those of us who are talentless have an extra challenge.Heston wrote: ↑29 Jan 2018, 8:48amI've met Joe and Mick but on both occasions I'd had a few beers which must have relaxed me somewhat.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑29 Jan 2018, 7:12amA friend of mine, when he was just getting started in the journalism game, got a chance to meet Elvis Costello backstage.

Well I just asked Joe about Cut the Crap, so being a musician was of no use at all really.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑29 Jan 2018, 9:27amI wonder, too, whether it's easier for musician-fans to relax because you already speak a common language that is the basis of the fandom.

That is amazing, Wally. I am so happy for you and even happier that he was nice.

The only other thing I can remember talking about was the end of Inoculated City and Joe bemoaning the fact it was cut.
