I like your point about the author being pi**sed that Meat didn't recognise him, Caryl - and agree it was less to do with a worrying mental state than never really knowing him in the first place! Too many journalists of all kinds feel that celebrities are their close personal friends because they've interviewed them once or twice over the decades. They choose not to remember just how many similar encounters - let alone more meaningful ones - that the celebrity in question has. In a single day of promotion a singer or actor can speak to a couple of dozen journalists. However well those sessions go, I doubt they can be considered a friendship on their own merit.
