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.
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.
@SW-User 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!
I am not sure how to call it, when I went to my 50th medical school reunion, i had lunch with my pharmacology professor, a man who really was instrumental in my career development.
