i found this article about meeting your idol and how disapointing it can be.


My friend met David Sylvian," says Strymowicz, "she had loved him for years. It was at a party. Then she heard the toilet flushing and she saw him walking out. She hadn't thought of Sylvian performing bodily functions. That and the discovery that he wasn't short sighted but the glasses were to make him look more intellectual put her right off."


there you have it :mrgreen:

Anyone remember Woody Allen's "Annie Hall"?
W.A. goes out with Shelley Duvall to see an indian guru who is considered the reincarnation of I don't know what god, and, as they are waiting to meet him, the guru pops out of the gents. "Oh look!" says Woody, "There's God coming out of the men's room."
That's disappointment!

I remember when the girls from J:MUSA interviewed our bladder impaired hero and one of them told me he had to go potty like five times during the meal. (It was poached salmon by the way, thanks for asking) He was sipping wine and water. No information whether he turned the water into the wine, but back then he was perceived as quite capable of almost anything. I would never call DS names, proggrl. I'll leave that to people w/o problems. If DS needs Depends then that is between him and Wal-Mart.

Inkinthewell, great to see "Woody" get a mention, I think it's Manhattan where he is discussing some literary work with a women who remarks "It's masturbation of the mind"
Woody says "don't knock masturbation, that's sex with someone I love"

J:MUSA was an American fanzine from the late 80s created by sisters in NYC. It became "Talking Drum". I have a few copies in my underground bunker somewhere.

I have problems obviously as I failed to mention J:MUSA means Japan:Made in the USA. Sorry.

For several years I helped run a couple of websites about a popular band of the 80's. I poured everything I had into it. It seemed only the drummer ever appreciated or acknowledged anything we did. He was always very gracious and a gentleman. The lead guitarist was still drinking, using drugs, womanizing and using people just like it was still 1983. One of the worst people I've ever dealt with. We only heard from the front man when he wanted to raise sand about something, and never heard from the bass player. Anyway, I finally resigned, heartsick and feeling very unappreciated. I'll never do anything like it again. I learned the hard way that celebrities are all too human, and yes, they go to the bathroom and have clay feet just like the rest of us.

Well if someone is put off by the fact that Mr. Sylvian uses the bathroom, that is just crazy!!! ... Besides, doesn't she know he pee's glitter?! LOL anyhoo a weak bladder is no fun. Try being at work and being suspected of going to the bathroom to text every hour! 0_0
