I posed the question a few days ago about whether it is a good or bad thing to meet ones heroes.
Simply put from my experience the answer is "maybe" Ringo Starr was rude and grumpy, Paul McCartney was polite but unwilling to give me an autograph (at first!). The Beatles were and always will be the ultimate band in my opinion. I wish I had been there to see them at the time. I miss George and John like you wouldnt believe! So it was a thrill to see Sir Richie and Sir Paul in the flesh but I wish the experience with Ringo had left a better taste in my mouth - after all I had purchased every one of his solo albums and there was some uncomfortable listening in amongst that lot!
What is that line "I have suffered for my art and now it is your turn". Anyway, they are both welcome to pop in for a cup of tea and a slice of cake the next time they are passing
