none of my heroes! every last one I've met has been a disappointment - they're just too real, and not made of gold, nor do they give a fuck who I am, or have any exciting things to say to me... why would they? Frank Black "uh yeah Hi, gee thanks"; Michael Stipe "um, hi"; Tom Deus "you what?"; but but but all those meetings were stolen moments, and not really mine to judge them on..... maybe over dinner they'd be more fun.. Anyway.. Would love to hang out and chat with David Bowie; Larry Hagman; Bill Hicks; Martin Scorcese; Robbie Krieger; Paul Newman; Peter Grant; Audrey Hepburn; Jimi Hendrix; Steven Malkmus; Frank Black; Angelina Jolie; Jonny Depp; Graham Coxon... I doubt any of this would ever work, but hey in fantasy land...
