"hello, im a big fan of your work and it have inspired me as a human being" i would be shamefully cheesy and clishe
or i would just make myself a big ouf of a fool and just stared in awe, I walked beind Trevor Bolder (couse i worked on a Uriah Heep concert, i could not utter a word, even though i had prepeard myself to say something or praise his work on Bowies three most praised albums, but i was afraid of that was apropriate )

I don't even know who my prog hero is, but I'm sure if I met him/her I'd probably say " 'sup?"

Thats interesting, cause you actually had the real opportunitty to say something. And, at it seems, you acted like Vompatti

Are they a little excentric, as their music?

hmm,,, no not really (they did have a cement blender and a metal saw on stage) but they were boringly normal (and French ) but really like you and i, but it was only 15 min so, still nice people (it was the bass player and the lady who plays guitar or drums ) i don't know their names as i am not really a fan.

Bad start. I’d say, "Hi, Peter. It’s very nice to meet you. Welcome to Rhodes – what would you like to drink?" (I know he doesn’t drink much alcohol after his heart attack but still I could offer him orange juice

What? Soybeans? I really hope that he eats meat or at least fish and seafood because I would never serve tofu in my home!

Back on topic:
I would ask Peter Hammill about the possible connection between The K Group and Franz Kafka (because I’ve read interviews where Kafka isn’t even mentioned, and I’m sure that Hammill has read Kafka’s novels). I would also ask him about A Grounding in Numbers: The songs Mathematics and 5533 seem to rule each other out. Is that deliberate or coincidental? (I guess the first.)
If I met Peter Gabriel, I would ask him if he ever thought about Dante’s Divina Commedia while he wrote the lyrics to The Lamb …

Hum, i heard The Lamb... was more influenced by The Pilgrim´s Progress, a Christian allegory. But sometimes The Lamb... is so cryptic that you can found references from manny stories (and facts). So, id like to ask him too about what his spiritual experiences at the time had to do with the album concept.
