Iāve never met any of my music heroes. If I was to talk to Alan Sparhawk from Low Iād probably be equally tonguetied (and heād be equally awkward).
Meeting someone whose music you kind-of like a bit is even worse. I bumped into Badly Drawn Boy in the queue for the chip van at Green Man a few years back. I couldnāt exactly say āHi⦠The Hour Of The Bewilderbeast was pretty good albeit rambling in parts and I havenāt bothered with your more recent releasesā. Canāt remember what I said in the end.
