That's a lovely photo, Hyde Park? You would've seen my ex-flatmate there as well, he was palling around with him that night... I was livid with him when I found out!!
I met him a couple of times, the first time in 1990 he was in a great mood, I was drunk and took advantage of him and got him to sign five autographs... I shared them around my mates... The second time was when I DJ'd for Big Star at the Astoria in the 00s, he was grumpy and I had a bunch of vinyl for him to sign... He'd clued up by this point and would only sign one item so I picked out my Peabody copy of Like Flies on Sherbert... Hoisted by my own petard!!
Jody signed a Big Star promo photo I had and my Celluloid copy of Third, he's so lovely... I didn't have the heart to ask him to sign more...
I'm exactly the kind of fan Alex would've hated that totally mythologises those three records... I'm okay with that, I know many more just like me! ☺️

Non guitar content warning!! One for all you LX fans, I ordered this MONTHS AGO... Came back not right and then a fuse blew! They sent a replacement out but that one was comically too big, Spinal Tap style, so they've got to make me yet another one!!
OH is keeping the huge one for her studio (it's over a metre tall, she LOVES Big Star), this little one will stay in the corner of the front room and the proper 40cm high one will live in my office/studio... Had to share, apologies, my fave band of all time... Three Big Star neons in the same house may be overdoing it tho'! 😂🔫
