Never Meet Your HeroesThey're bound to disappoint - like the time we booked Wayne Hussey for the B3ta Radio Show. Five minutes before we're due to record, Wayne
phones, lost on the M25 with his Brazilian wife screaming in the background. Not so much the King of Goth, as a hen-pecked flake.

Didn't realise who he wasWhen I was living in LA I was sitting outside of a bar on Sunset with some mates (Saddle Ranch Chop House if you know it) when the guy on the next table starts talking to me. He'd noticed my English accent and struck up conversation. I'd been talking to him for 15 minutes before I realised it was Goldie (DJ & Bond villain). He was a really nice bloke and even invited us to see him play at the Viper Room.
Also sitting with him was Cerys Matthews (Welsh band, forgot the name) who didn't say a word and struck me as a miserable bint. Maybe she was just having a bad day.
Other encounters:
Sat across the aisle from John Goodman on a plane. He spent the entire flight knocking back vodka.
Shared a plane with Eminem - very short guy, flight attendents were going nuts.
Saw Steve Tyler (Aerosmith) shooping in Boston.
Met Clint and the guys from PWEI, they seemed like very nice chaps.
