Walking down Deansgate in Manchester I was looking at a guy walking the other way. For ages I was thinking I knew him and he obviously saw me staring because he smiled and said 'Hi, hows it going' or some such. I replied, still wondering who it was and it was only after he was well past I realised it was Francis Rossi from Status Quo. One of my all time favourite bands and I missed my chance!
