I agree with everything Little Dancer has said. I have found Meat to be unfailingly gracious, patient, kind, gentle, down to earth, and a little shy at the start.
Everything about him has always suggested to me he is the most unpretentious performer you could wish to meet, eschews "stardom" and celebrity status, and never fails to acknowledge what he owes his fans and express his gratitude to them.
Add to this he is a decent man, who competes against high internalised standards, who says his ambition is to be a better person each day, who when listing his "jobs" recently put "bringing up my family" at number one, and about whom I believe you can turn the old phrase on its head and say he understands the value of everything and doesn't count the cost :)
