Foo Fighters - My Hero
When the Foos did their Wembley gig, I got tickets for the Friday and got a call from my mate Lee just before they came onstage. Chatted to him for a bit (he was working in Ireland) about our usual twatty stuff (brussel sprout curry, why beards have ginger in them etc.) then hung up and got on with the concert.

Had a blinding time and got back home thinking "I'm getting on ebay and buying a ticket for tomorrow too!".

Woke up on the Saturday morning feeling great - the plan was get a ticket from ebay, fuck off to Strawberry Fair in Cambridge, then down to London...that was the plan.

Then I got a call from Andy, who told me Lee had died last night - instantly gutted. Seemed we all were, and everyone just turned up in the Tudor, a very morose atmosphere was going on, then the jukebox (on random play) just started playing 'My Hero' - a live version, and the tears started streaming down my face (as they are now). I sat there with Lee's 2 brothers, crying like a baby for my lost friend.

For months, every time I heard that track, my eyes would fill up. Not the soundtrack to my life, but a song that'll always remind me of him.

Shiiiit
Bad news, dude. But I am curious, what was/is your theory on copper beard growth?

I think the general consensus was
The more ginger, the more 'the creator' hates you...

On a (kinda) connected theme...there's a hair salon opened up over the road form my local called 'Gingeroos' - my plan of getting a load of gingers lined up outside for a pic hasn't come to fruition yet though...

Hmmm
I have a fair bit of ginge in mine. Looks lovely in the golden light of a crisp autumn day, though.

You must get that photo. You must!

Funny how some songs are just so damn... well, fitting...
