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.

Attila the StockbrokerAt a Men They Couldn't Hang gig almost 20 years ago. Arrived just in time to catch half of the support act which I enjoyed very much. Solo bloke, punk poet.
Saw support guy in the audience during the gig, went up & said something like "you were really good, who are you?" and was treated to a scowl rapidly followed by a view of his back.
Was surprised to discover a year later that THAT was Attila the Stockbroker who up until then I'd heard of but never heard.
Still, I've seen him & chatted to him several times since. Decent chap. Never mentioned our first meeting though!
