I've met him a couple of times he is a good geezer.101Walterton wrote: ↑29 Jan 2018, 3:05amHe’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
I’m not one for seeking out celebs (partly for the reason you state above). But when opportunity comes to meet someone on your ‘A list’ I won’t say no. I’ve been lucky to meet 2 of my A list including George Best and both were top geezers.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. 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 do regret not meeting Joe when he was here in 2000 when I had the opportunity.

That's pretty good and all, but nobody will be able to top coming within vomit range of a throat-slashing and living to tell about it.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: Just Had Breakfast
I've met Billy Bragg, Mojo Nixon, Dick Dale, singer from Alice Donut and the members of Blood or Whiskey. Also as a kid I met Goose Gossage, Lou Pinella, Fred "Chicken" Stanley and a few other Yankees who I cant recall right now.
