I agree with Terry and Little Dancer .. I got the impression the the journalist was seeing Meat when he was still unwell .. before they realised what was actually wrong with him for so many years and corrected it? .. and his comments about British journalists sent this one into a negative set .. and if you're expecting to meet the huge larger than life character from the stage you'll often be surprised, because the man who takes him on there is actually quite shy and totally without pretension or "star" trappings.
It was still a great Sunday read

and some great pictures .. and yes, he must get bored silly with the same old questions .. if they eally want to know why don't they do what I did and check the Texas State registers of births? Journalists who can't be bothered to investigate!! .. lol
