NOT an RIP thread

I was just going to post this with just his name but Rick Wakeman is definitely still with us and I've no wish to put anyone's heart rate up.

This has stuck in my brain down the years as the best rock musician interview ever and someone on Twitter found it for me with only the vaguest description.

On Danny Baker After All back in 1993 so two of my favourite people on the same program.
Watch part 1 and 2 and it should at least take the edge of any bad day you've had.

I was up in Glasgow visiting wifes relatives a few decades ago.

I saw that Wakeman was on live. I used to love his albums until the night I went to a Glasgow theatre to see him 'live in concert' and everything went well till his microphone packed in mid-number.

Instead of being professional... 
He went nuts screaming abuse at the setup team/backroom boys, and then turned on the audience who were booing, he then shouted and sweared at them to shut up.

he got boo-ed off the stage, left, and I don't think he ever returned to Glasgow. 

Glasgow is well known as the deathnell of many a comedian and musician, who never return. At least we did not throw fruit at him 

PS..still like his albums.
