I always think it is terribly like the middle part of Danny Boy - I know my Dad thinks this too. :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Fiendish. :) I think we can touch our heroes if we make the effort and don't get all weird on it.

Not just for the obvious reasons, but also because it seems like it was really easy to meet famous people in 1985.<BR/><BR/>Somehow I don't feel Arctic Monkeys/Kings of Leon/The Strokes would be quite so receptive to me hanging around outside the stage door to say hello. <BR/><BR/>A friend of mine met the lead singer of Vampire Weekend, and does have the photo evidence, but I am as yet pretty much unversed in the ways of Meeting Your Heroes.Fiendishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06427088675092430747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496460488742488789.post-14656332409890495532008-11-27T14:11:00.000+00:002008-11-27T14:11:00.000+00:00and btw, no you're not that old of course.

I'll check). Also, the word Aussie would help. You might e-mail the online Australian newspapers and get them to advertise for you...I'm getting out of hand now.
