So, here again is our alarmingly regular occasional column, in which we ask you to recount tales of the times pop stars have told you to fuck off. Ah, such fond memories. This week, we deviate slightly, because the story is not about the reader themselves being told to fuck off. And actually, the words "fuck" and "off" are not mentioned at all. We thought it was a great story, though.
"Brian Wilson doing a record/book signing in 2001. Long queue, sign up saying 'Please have your record ready for signing and two items only please'. Friend duly queues for two hours with large anticipation as he has brought with him a highly sought after rare Beach Boys release that was pulled due to issues with artwork and only 150 or so copies were ever sold before being taken off shelves. My friend has this record, the record that then replaced it and the recently re-released 'Greatest Hits' album to be signed. Friend is convinced that Brian will realise that he is the Beach Boys' biggest EVER fan as soon as he sees this record in his hands... Friend reaches the front of the queue slaps down this rarity in front of Brian, embarks upon his spiel of how he doesn't think anyone else owns one of these and the background to how he bought it. Brian stops him and says, 'Sorry, two items only please'".
