Yet another Roger Waters mention from me...
In 1981, a couple of days after my buddy Chris & I had seen Pink Floyd play The Wall live at Earls Court, we spent a day in London. The Floyd were still playing their run of five nights, and whilst we were walking through Trafalgar Square sporting our brand spanking new The Wall tour t-shirts, we walked straight past Roger Waters himself.
Being a shy, spotty teenager, all I could muster was "Hello". He nodded towards our shirts, winked, and said "Hello", and we all carried on. I can remember being a bit stunned that he didn't float about on clouds, surrounded by angels, and was in fact a mortal human being.
How I've regretted since not stopping to talk. Mavbe he would have been rude if we had, so praps it's best...
