Why I admire Eric Idle
I admire him, as I respect gifted people. I can quote the words of John Mason – You were born an original. Don’t die a copy. Eric Idle was born an original and will die the same.
How I met Eric Idle
I met him at a CD signing at a Virgin Megastore in Hollywood (the one near Laurel Canyon) a couple years ago. I remember asking him something about whether anyone’d done anything crazy (like dressing up like a chicken or whatever) when meeting him. The answer was “no”, but he said I was the first to ask.
Why I like Eric Idle
When he came to San Fran, we were on line all day for tickets. I was in the first 20 people in line.
He actually came out there, about 4 hours before the show, and shook all our hands, every last one of us—down the line.
Amazing guy.
