....would be cooler.
But he's dead.
In fact that would have made it even cooler.
But yeah, quite cool. Have you thought of a number? |  |

Sadly, I crossed paths professionally with him and he was, how shall I put it? An utter, self-obsessed, privileged a!sehole. Literally said, "Do you know who I am?"
In hindsight, the correct answer was "Not who I thought you were when I was a kid, Johnny."
Never meet your heroes.
Unless it's Bonnie Langford. Always meet Bonnie Langford. [Post edited 22 Jul 21:48]
