: I never spot famous people, never have. I just
: do not see them. How many times has the wife
: said, 'that's such and such from that
: film/band/TV programme' I then look around
: and say 'which one do you mean?'.
:
: Yesterday evening I'd just cleared Passport
: Control at LHR yesterday, desperate for a
: pee I went the loo, as I was coming out I
: had a fleeting glimpse of a grey haired man
: go in. Something registered. 'Nah, can't be,
: can it?'
:
: I went down the escalator dismissing my
: obvious error. I got to the bottom, but I
: couldn't leave it and decided to wait. The
: man came down, 'no it's not him, just
: someone who look a little like him' I
: convinced myself.
:
: 'Hang on though, same build and height as
: me, trade-mark black trousers and black
: blazer'. He turned to go to the Baggage
: Area, changed his mind and walked past me.
:
: 'Roger?' I enquired(This is going to be
: embarrasing if its not him). He didn't turn
: at first, then he did. 'Yes?, sorry I can't
: stop I'm in a hurry.'
: I didn't know what to say. We walked out in
: to Arrivals together.
:
: Ask something... erm.. anything 'any plans
: for a new album?'
: 'Maybe.' came the reponse.
:
: 'What a dumb question. Of course he's not
: going to tell me anything. A complete
: stranger walks up to you and starts asking
: you abut your work! What oher response did I
: expect.! He's a pro, he's fully aware
: anything he says can be all over the
: internet within hours.
:
: We were now outside in the Arrivals Hall.
: 'Well nice to meet you Roger, ddn't ever
: expect it to happen.'
:
: 'Yeah, nice to meet you too' and he was
: gone.
:
: Everyone knows the saying, 'never meet your
: heroes, you'll only be disapponted'. Well I
: was. Not in Roger, but in me. Anyone who
: knows me will know about my obsessive Roger
: Waters/Pink Floyd behaviour. (Wife's
: observation, not mine).
:
: I've bought the albums, bought the concert
: tickets (12 times) and the accompanying
: flights, the hotels, train fares, car hire.
: the tour T-shirts, the tour Programmes, the
: joints etc, etc. And I've dreamt of such an
: encounter since I was 14 when I first became
: a PF fan. I've had a list of questions
: stored in my brain that would take me hours
: to discuss with Rog.
:
: After 34 years of wishing, imagining,
: dreaming and waiting, I blew it!
