Major Minor and happily wrecked my wrist again, I set off for the plane. In first class sat The Who's Roger Daltrey. I told him, "Thanks so much for the great show. You were pretty much the best thing about the convention." "Thanks, mate. Good show," he said, just as if the art were all in a night's work, nothing special. But it
was exceptional.
