ps: Even with my Favourite artists / Bands/ Individuals... Like "Yes" I always describe myself as a Fan of Their music, rather than the Band/Artists... Because as we all know - some of them are UtterCunts - Van Morrison being a prime example... Great Songs... Harris Person.
Used to 'idolise' Steve Howe, then in 1972 I made the mistake of meeting him after a gig; I'd travelled 17 hours to get to the gig in Paris... managed to get a Backstage Pass after bribing one of the roadies with a quarter ounce and I asked him to sign my copy of the first 3 yes albums (Vinyl which I carried all the way from home) he signed the Yes Album (3rd release of the three) when he saw the the first and second albums on which he didn't play he "Threw" them away - they got scratched and damaged, saying' They're nothing to do with me!"... From that moment on I have always separated the Artist from their Music...
