Rick Wakeman is a guy who falls into the category of an old rocker, much in the same way you woudl consider ozzy osborne, eric clapton, mick jagger, you know the sort of guys i am going on about. well rick starred on a tv show here in the Uk called grumpy old men, which is basically a sounding off show where old people can moan about things in society that tick them off. the show is kind of funny, and to be fair rick wakeman was a great guy on there, he was funny and unique and i like the man, he was also a very talented musician. he is touring again now, and he was saying how hard he worked every day and how mcuh he loved it. i guess getting asked for all those autographs again begins to feel good and the celebity limelight begins to shine.
rick was also talking about a time he met a fan -
He recounts with evident pleasure an encounter with a young man in South America who asked him to autograph a vinyl record of "Six Wives."
Saying he was surprised to see the man listening to old music, he was immediately told that it may be old for him, but the autograph-seeker had only come across it a day or so earlier.
Wakeman now thinks of this at each performance. "There will always be someone who will hear it for the first time," he said.
