Now this is an item I definitely didn't expect to end up with! Two weeks
ago today, Stone Roses were headlining the second day of Tennents Vital
here in Belfast. I wasn't able to make the concert and as you might
expect, that had annoyed me quite a bit. Anyhow, I got a phonecall early
afternoon from my aunt (yes, the same one that got me Pet Shop Boys
autograph for my birthday) who was in town and sounded very excited. To
cut a long story short, my Aunt and cousins were going into Starbucks,
and none other than lead singer Ian Brown walked out! My
aunt and cousins approached him, said that their niece/cousin was a
huge fan and he signed this business card for me, (the business is
actually my mother's) as it was the only thing my Aunt had in her bag he
could sign! I literally thought I would faint when my Aunt told me. My cousin also got a picture taken with him but for the sake of
family privacy I'm not putting it up here. They talked to him for a few
minutes and said he was a very nice guy, so I think I now love Stone
Roses even more (if that was possible).
