What would you ask/say?

[satchbot]

When you see fans telling bands/artists that they are the greatest it must be tiresom for the band (well it would be if I were them).

So what would you say or ask if you were to meet them?

Going down?


That's what I'm getting at. You see a star and what do you say? I'd most likely be that same - quiet and dumbstruck.

Most people I've met that have had some success just want to be talked to like normal people and get embarrassed by excessive god-like praise.. (There are exceptions of course) ...
Most appreciate a genuine discreet 'love your work' type comment..


Spent hours discussing the merits of sushi with the last 'very' famous person I talked to, never talked music once !

I had a few mails with Paul Draper (Mansun) ....

First one after I'd heard something about him having found his "new sound", to which I mailed him "Was it behind the sofa, you always lose things behind the sofa". He duly agreed, saying he found a few other things as well. Nice bloke, but never met in person.

It used to be, "when am I going to get paid?"

My wife is wonderful when it comes to these things.

Arriving at a private Christmas party, her coat was taken at the door by a chap.
"What a nice doorman" she said to me, to which I replied - "that was the host, Peter Gabriel!"

Backstage at the NEC - In conversation with a guy, he asks her "what did you think of the show?"
She replies, "Not much, I actually slept for all but 10 minutes of it"
Justin Hayward took it very well and didn't fire me...

Running after that man Gabriel once again, he stopped when she saw she had a pen
and paper, thinking she wanted an autograph.
She said, "oh no sorry, you forgot to sign the cheque!"

Your wife's great!
