Never Meet Your Heroes
They'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.

Not so young ones
I once contracted Rik Mayall (the man, not the condition) to do some radio ads. I turned up at the studios expecting him to be a bit of a luvvie wanker and all self important. In retrospect there was no reason to expect that other than I really really wanted him not be and didn't want to be let down.
Mr Mayall, I salute you Sir! He was the funniest, most down to earth friendly helpful bloke you could ever meet. Spent an hour crying with laughter as he did take after take to get it perfect, all the while making sure that I was completely happy. I still have the version where he called all of our customers cunts and lepers. What a top top man.
Ironically I once lived quite near Adrian Edmondson, and he really is a cunt.
It's not long, but is wide.
