Rick Wakeman?
Damn! Rumbled!
Although funnily enough, when I shared a house with The Slider, one day he came home and mentioned he had nearly run over Rick Wakeman with his motor scooter.
It was outside the BBC and the Yes keyboardist was not looking where he was going as he crossed the road while intent on eating a sandwich. John stopped and looked back and shouted he should look where he was going, before realising he was addressing the creator of both Journey To The Centre Of The Earth narrated by David Hemmings and Return To The Centre Of The Earth featuring Patrick Stewart.
He suggested it would have dreadful, as he was such a fan of Yes, had he collided with and injured - possibly even killed - his keyboard idol. I said it was resonant of the regretful claim of a WWII Luftwaffe pilot that he had shot down the airplane of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of The Little Prince, a book he had loved as a child.
John said 'Never heard of him - but we're saying in the special section of Hell reserved for people who killed their heroes, there might well have been Mark Chapman, this German guy you're talking about, and me...'
