i was half-listening to the radio yesterday, when the news came on and i heard rge name of chris knox. unfortunately i didn't hear the rest of the news, so i had to wait.
it turns out that he wasn't dead. chris knox had a stroke on thursday night and is now in hospital.
still, the fact that he is still alive hasn't stopped the eulogising. highlights of his career were mentioned in the herald, and on stuff.
i've met him, you know. when i was doing the lights for francis sect, he occasionally played solo as support, and i ended up doing the lights for him as well.
at the they might be giants gig in 1990, he said hello. and when they started a singalong section, he was joining in as cheerfully as anyone else.
get well soon

News reached me too last Saturday giving me a pause for thought. I met him at the Waikato University once. We chatted. And I asked for an autograph (geeky, I know). He said 'I'll give you an autograph if you tell me where the toilet is'. Deal done he drew me a self portrait with a speech bubble saying 'Thanks for the toilet stop' and signed it. This is framed and hanging on the study wall at home.
