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! ☺️
