This is a question Shit Claims to Fame II

My car was in the Specsavers advert with the old lady and the loud stereo. Not me. My stupid blue Nissan Micra. Tell us about your brushes with fame.

KRS-One
Another artist who might not have been heard of by many, I have had the chance to chat to him for a few hours, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, wearing an Armani suit. He'd just come off a European tour and was sailing back on the Queen Mary II with his family, I was sailing with my family to start our new life in the US (proper immigrant me, sailed through NY Harbour and everything!). I spotted him in the food court and introduced myself and left him to it, then the next evening I went to see a jazz trio play and spotted him at the back of the room on hip laptop so went and had a chat with him afterwards. Really, really nice bloke and very easy to get along with. I think a lot of the conversation was about me shitting myself about moving to America to be honest. A lot of what he said did seem to be "the script" which I could tell he'd recited to journalists etc. a million times, but now being an immigrant can understand as I have one of my own, a la "I moved here X years ago because Y and Z, I am from _here_ in England, yes I do like it here in Florida etc." but there were times we were just having a good old chat and he'd mention again who he was (not in a wankery way, more of a "X happened because I'm KRS-One", talking about his celebrity) and I caught myself thinking, "Oh shit yeah this guy's a huge name". Quality bloke though, which is nice to know.

He certainly does
As he comes across as quite arrogant quite a lot of the time, but I have to say he was most pleasant one on one... Massive bloke too, towered over me and I'm 6'4"
