If you had a chance to meet your hero or Heroine, who would it be and what would you say?

For me it would be Robert Fripp and I'd say - F*CKING CHEER UP!!!!!

I'd tell him I used to have filthy thoughts about his wife..

Then I'd run away.

I've changed my mind. My hero is now Rod Hull and Emu

Rod Hull died tragically whilst attempting to adjust his sky dish to get Juventus V United in the champions league he fell through his conservatory roof.

He should never have let the Emu hold the ladder......

When Billy Connolly was about to be attacked by Emu, he turned to Rod Hull and said, "If he comes near me, I'll break his kneck, and your f****n' arm!"LOL

I'd ask "Have you found that it's better to embrace the fear and pointlessness inherent in human mortality, hopefully by dealing with it in a constructive manner, or to try to keep it out of your mind as much as possible in the possibility that such thoughts are ultimately counter-productive to making something of value of your life?"

"Hey Al, during that solo on "In the Dead of Night," don't you think dweedly dweedly sweeethp do dodododode dweddlydweedlydweedly zwowooowowww, would have sounded better?" (All this while playing air guitar with a scrunched up face)

 

 

Actually, it would be more like, "Excuse me Mr. Holdsworth, could I buy you an ale?"

Strange that I'll bend my knee for no Man and thus I don't hero worship anybody but I'd certainly like to have a chat to Peter Gabriel or Mr Hackett.

Edgar Froese's. Thanks to scientific advances men can actually have babies with other men these day. I forget how it's done but I read about it in the science magazine I subscribe to. But I hasten to add: I don't really want to have his babies,it was just a joke. Not that I think that any of you failed to get it,but you never know...

Actually if I ever met Edgar I probably wouldn't say anything,I'd just faint from complete and utter overexcitement. It's what I usually do in those situations.

I met my hero after a show.  I never asked him if he would produce my first album though

I should have asked him to play more than "Just One Victory" off of "A Wizard/A Trur Star"
