I used to described friends who met each other at functions, extolling each other’s wealth and position, as members of the Mutual Admiration Society.
Recently, when Sharukh Khan was in Malaysia, he met with Tun Dr Mahathir. Each said he admired the other. Dr. M must have wished he could be idolized by millions of fans of Bollywood, while Sharukh wished he could be lord of all he surveyed.
Regardless of age, it must be exciting to meet one’s idol, like when a friend who recently met Santana backstage in Singapore through an American girl. Santana even played his PRS guitar and autographed it twice… the price being a kiss from the lass each time! He felt like a VIP being envied by others who wondered who they are. Thomas is a talented lead guitarist and it would have been nicer if he had the chance to ‘guitar duet’ with him, like what BB King did with another famous guitarist. That would be asking too much.
But I still could not get over the busker’s luck at St. Paul’s hill in Malacca. A tour guide took Lobo there but before he appeared, the guide requested the busker to sing a Lobo song. After a few lines, he was joined by Lobo himself!
Government fed by the people
