Not smelly either...Not so much a hero, but I am and have been impressed by Netwon Faulkner and his live music, he does entertain...
Had media passes to last years Isle of Wight festival and he was playing... saw him back stage, and requested a pic, and he duely obliged.
However, it was sunny, I was drinking pink champagne (it was free...) and when my camera would work, I started to get 'over excited' which caused him slight concern. Still after a few awkward minutes, pic was taken and all was good... and he smelt rather pleasant too, which is always a surprise for anyone with dreads...

Funny coincidence that.c.f. my earlier post about nipping up to NYC to see Maiden play.
On the flight up, I was I was sitting in the row of seats behind a chap with red dreadlocks. I'd been sitting fairly near to him waiting for the plane and had heard him mention Bonaroo (TN music festival) a bit earlier. I assumed he'd been in the crowd since he looked the type and being a bit bored, sparked up a conversation about it and how I was sad I hadn't been able to get to go to it.
Turns out red-dreaded dude was Newton Faulkner and had been playing at Bonaroo. I felt a little bad that I had never heard of him and never heard any of his music (I think he's bigger in the UK than here) and to be honest, I've checked out his music since and it's not really my thing. Nice enough chap though.
He also expressed a bit of envy that I was getting to see Iron Maiden. Which was nice.
