Speaking of assholes, I think Maynard James Keenan (Tool) fits this description.

Really? But he's only done one cool thing in his life - Drama - and that was 25 years ago.

I've met Anderson (twice), Howe, Moraz, Squire, Wakeman and White.

All are pleasant, or at least patient, except Mr. Howe. He's pretty terse, chilly, and quick-tempered, in my experience.

There again, they're musicians, they want their privacy, and I don't really think they owe their fans anything. I've had additional chances to meet Anderson, Wakeman and White, but passed...they've met a MILLION fans and this point probably just want their privacy.

What about those musicians who fire roadies for not having their Persian carpets arranged properly on stage

Hooooo! Dick!!! I know one person (well she is in love with somebody else right now!) that would extremely unpleased with your comment!

Not that he is prog but the biggest a**hole I was ever given to meet is Blackmore. It was in 85 (on the Perfect Stranger tour, and he called me an A**hole for just being backstage although I had been given the pass by Jon Lord himself (he was a close fiend of my then-neighbor and was spending the night there) and wanted to get me thrown out. Ian Paice stepped in for me.

I now refer to him as Blackmood.

content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
