My brother and his wife were in the Beach Hotel, Merewether, Newcastle back in the early eighties and this famous guy walked in alone who they recognised and invited over for a drink and a chat. Fans will love this funny utube clip!
Apparantly he had escaped the managers clutches and headed for his favourite environment for a drink before the big show that night.
Ended up a bit of a sad story of how his life is a pretty boring existence touring on the road - not really knowing where he is heading for - or the cities he is performing in - sleeping in the same chain of motel every night. Pretty lonely really.
The manager eventually found him and Joe obligingly left my bro with his small brush with fame experience - he was a great fan of the guy so he was stoked to have met him for a down to earth chat.
