When I heard that the Police were doing a tour again after all these years I said to my best mate that I would sell the kids for tickets. After all, I can always have more children. OK, so I'd come rescue them later, but at least I'd have seen the Police, and we'd all have something to tell grand-kids about one day.
[b]Stuart[/b], I dare say that you have plenty of drummers hoping to meet you, so one more surely won't hurt. I'd be happy just shake that hand of the man that inspired me to become a drummer myself, and provided me with a benchmark to attempt to achieve. [i]Such [/i]an inspirational player.
A chance to be backstage just to get a close view of you in action from a vantage point that wasn't obscured by bass players and guitarists would be awesome.
I suppose I know my chances are slim, but if I don't ask... And if this wish came true then that would be the thrill of a lifetime for me - meeting my hero.
Anyway... Hey, am I the first Aussie in here I wonder?
