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.

William Straw
As in, son of Jack. Less of a hero, more of a tenuous connection with. My physics teacher used to teach Mr. Straw junior, and so we get the story of him.
Most of the physics class, including William (or so I'm led to believe), had formed a band called Bare Naked Ladies. Obviously, come the leavers' party, they were playing.
Now, a mosh pit formed. And some parents were there for some God-known reason. One of the parents tries, and fails, to mosh. Their ankle gets broken and Mr. Physics Teacher witnesses this event. It all goes wrong, turns out Will wasn't a hardcore rocker, just a turnip who thought he could headbang.
Can't even control a mosh pit for cripes sake.
And so Mr. Physics Teacher has never gone to another leavers' party, he still has the tape of Bare Naked Ladies, collecting dust in his office.
Come to think of it, that had flip-all to do with the question.
