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.

my connection to a man dressed like Jim Morrisson
In Australia there's a big thing of 'tribute bands' - bands that do covers exclusively of one band or singer, and also dress like them. Usually it's bands that are foreign and either defunct (eg the Doors, Abba) or way too big to come to Australia more than once in a blue moon (eg U2, the Cure).
Anyway, for some reason at work we were talking about bands and I wondered aloud whether 'groupies' were real or just something that people in bands wish would happen, and she said that her ex used to be the singer of the Australian Doors Show, and indeed did get groupies.
I like to think that they'd pretend to be famous groupies from the 60s, but I guess probably not.
