And I ain't there.
Things are gonna get worse

I left out the rest of the conversation, which was distinctly uncool.pominoz said:Prestwich_Blue said:Saw JCC in the mid-70's at Manchester Poly (as it was then). I'd actually gone to see Clive James, who was touring with a guy called Pete Atkin. In the interval, JCC jumped onto the stage completely unannounced and started reciting his poetry.
Security were going to throw him off but the crowd demanded they let him stay on so they did. We'd never seen anything like it but how could you not like "You'll never see a nipple in the Daily Express"?
I turned to the guy stood just behind me and said "He's good isn't he?". "Yes. How the fuck am I going to follow that?" said Clive James.
How cool was that? :-)
"Hey. You're Clive James!".
"Thank you but I already knew that." Took a long time to live that one down.

I saw Howard Jacobson smoking a cigar outside a bookies once.
Me: "Are you Howard Jacobson?"
Him: "No."
Lying bastard.

Absolutely love JCC. Such an underrated poet and an absolute national treasure. He should be kept in Poet's Corner for posterity.
Many of the greats have been mentioned already. Check out Kung Fu Internationale (in which he gets beaten up) is simply amazing. 36 hours is simply genius and the version set to music is stunning.
Lights out, sack time.
