I have mild cerebral palsy, as they say now, wore calipers until I was 11. Different times...
1972

"Das kannst du nicht anfassen!"
My pal @jezs67.bsky.social went to see Burke live. He was so large he could barely walk & sat on a 'throne' onstage for the entire set. Amazing apparently.
"Get onstage now or you're not getting paid!"
Armed with a wheel of Parmesan😱
May have been.
I note Robert Calvert signed autographs as 'Bob'😱
1972. IIRC from his book, this was Steve Morris of JD/NO's first proper gig. His parents agreed to take him if he went with them to see Ken Dodd or someone similar
“The wench, you idiot! Bring me the wench!”
Apparently back in the day Trump's golfing buddies called him Pele due to his habit of kicking his ball into a better position, unaware that everyone could see him.

Pass the Cup-A-Soup😀
A Scottish rugby fan in Dublin this weekend...
"And now the end is near, or maybe it isn't, I don't have a fucking clue..."
...etc, etc. During soundcheck a familiar head popped round the door to catering & asked "Any chance of a coffee?", introduced himself, "Please, call me David", asked M & her colleagues about themselves & chatted away for ages. He came to the LA show & did the same, including remembering their names
My ex is CEO of a big tour catering company & in her time on the road met lots of big names. She says exactly the same. She worked a Pixies tour & Bowie was due to come to the NYC show. Some nomark gave them a huge lecture on how they were not to look directly at him, address him as 'Mr Bowie'...
Knew it well back in the day👍
