He's looking fit ! I was concerned when Nora was going downhill,it really took a toll on him. It's a testament to his character that one so enshrined in the music biz took his relationship so seriously. I loved his books as well and didn't want them to end,so I've re-read them slowwwly.
I've met many of my heroes,for better or ill. Spent a good hour chatting with Ari Up,which began icily but had her warming up after a while.Tessa Pollitt was genuinely nice to me.
I upset Linton Kwesi Johnson,which sucked...but had a few laughs with Lee Perry and gave him a nice seashell,which he studied intently.
@dubkebab I have to admit, it was shocking to see him like this:

Also, me growing up having loved the Pistols and PiL (and as you know, Jah Wobble of course), I lost a significant amount of respect for Lydon when he revealed himself to be in the MAGA cult. He is the last person I would've expected to support a straight-up fascist, and I just can't fathom how blind he has become to the fascist turn the world is taking ... that this is the same person who sang "Holidays in the Sun"
I forgot one. My football idol as a young teen was a college player for Georgia Tech. He was an All-American. Move ahead until my senior year in high school and I was on a table, getting taped for a game when the officials walked in. My coach introduced me to them, and one was my idol. I couldn't believe I was shaking the hand of my idol and would be playing in front of him.
no, I missed the oportunity to meet Jane Goodall when I was studying anthropology and also missed the oportunity to meet the dalai Lama . I am going to India next year and will be close to Dharamshala so maybe I will go and meet him.
@Dusty101 i work security for concerts as a fun job. I do it enough that if it’s a performer I’m really into. I can request the post I want. I asked to be posted at his tour bus so I could meet him…I’m a huge fan. I not only got to meet him, but he was gracious to have a real conversation with me about music and his early life in Mississippi. The fact that my dad, grew up black in Aberdeen, Mississippi… a few town over from his hometown…and at about the same time….helped break the ice. He was everything I ever imagined….funny, gracious, and genuine.
@Dusty101 I got to see Gordon Lightfoot in concert for my birthday, once. It was on a waterfront with boats with lights in view, and a beautiful moon. It was sort of magical and cool.
@TheOthetAcc he's marrying no other woman! Staying with Nora, the love of his life, a woman in the audience proposed to him ! It was cute! Nah, I just adore the man! 🥳
@FreeSpirit1 free, he was so nice, and wow his stage presence was hypnotic. He certainly is a legend. His narrative of his life was pure genius. He signed my book and took the gift I made him. Such an amazing guy!
@losthorizons John Lydon, more known by his former stage name, Johnny Rotten, He is best known as the frontman of the 70s British punk band Sex Pistols, Known for his no-nonsense way of talking.
