My brother & sister-in-law are London for a few days, so we took them around to see some of the sights yesterday.

We were standing at the bottom of the Big Ben clock tower taking photos when I spied a man who looked very rock and roll. My first thought was... oh he's trying to look like Liam Gallagher. My second thought was OMK that is Richard Ashcroft!!

It was one of those "is that really him" moments and Paul confirmed it for me. He was out with his sons and his wife Kate Radley -- who was in Spiritualized (until she broke up with Jason Pierce, quit the band and hooked up with Ashcroft).

I've never really spotted someone like that in public. It was kind of cool.

ooo fun

You should have acted all cool in front of your brother, like, "Yeah, in England it's rock stars around ever corner."

Yeah. It was stuck in my head the rest of the day. Haha.

haha at least you were nice. i've read interviews where people harass him about walking down the street, thanks to that video....

now that is not cool

- Mere "a witch video?" 1975

Bittersweet Symphony

Ahhhh. In this day and age, I thought there had been some Paris Hilton kinda video of him.

- Mere "actually I never really liked that song" 1975

i got confused and asked him to put the kettle on

Aww that song actually makes me miss the world cup (and world cup ads).

Let see @ the GnR show recently I had retro night in my booth.

Metallica dudes, Faith No More dude, Stone Temple Pilot dude, and M.I.R.V dude (who I ran into this past sunday at my fave tiki bar and we chatted for a bit).
