Aunt_Acid Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 If he's anything like me, he was more dry. I don't even think dry is the right way to describe it. Rick Wright comes off as a genuinely nice guy. The only thing I'm mad at him about is selling the Mellotron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Only "personality" I ever met was in '86, when Tiny Tim was working in a little traveling circus, playing his ukelele and singing every night to 120 people. I was a (poor) DJ at a little station. My partner and I ("The Good Guys Show", no less) interviewed him. He sat next to me at my mic and I felt VERY uncomfortable. He had bad teeth and purple hair dye and kept calling me "Mr. Ron," though he was 20 years older than me. Just got bad vibes from him. His "handler" sat close by and made sure Tiny cooperated with our softball questions. This was promotion for their circus and my partner and I rode an elephant into the circus ring to start the first show in our town. Standing in the wings later and watching the spotlight on Tiny Tim "singing" to hoots and hollers, I actually felt sorry for this guy. He was as caged as the elephant.

edna Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 PS..... I thought Midge Ure was notorious for beating his wife....beautiful lady, but lots of black eyes....just what I'd heard. Really? Never heard of that... well, I just met him a couple of times and he seems a very nice and interesting guy... and then I was told (by people who knew him) he was a really cool person... just what I´d heard...

CanAm Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 I have only met three music celebrities. Many moons ago, I met Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman of Yes. Both of them were warm and charming. Howe was rather shy and Wakeman had a self-deprecating sense of humour. The other celebrity I met was Alanna "Black Velvet" Myles. A friend of mine worked for Warner Records and was given the dubious honour of escorting Ms. Myles to some promotional events in Edmonton. I met her at one of these events. What a b**ch!! An ego the size of the great outdoors and ill-mannered to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
