Nice story Al. Glad you and your weary body managed to make it after all! Not sure that I could queue for that long to see anyone though. At my age you need your own bed!!
I'm not suprised that he'd only sign copies of the CD and DVD either. That is what the signing was all about. It's all PR after all, and anyone who thinks otherwise is being naive. Anyway, try signing a thousand autographs in a couple of hours and see how your hand feels afterwards. If they hadn't have limited it people would have been bringing all sorts of stuff with them. I remember seeing John Mayall a couple of years ago - one guy brought 18 albums for him to sign.
And for the record, I don't think he owes anyone anything anymore. Toured regularly, recorded regularly. Everyone's had their pound of flesh.
Glad I didn't have to wait that long when I met him.
I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
