You KNOW You're A JOHN WILLIAMS Fanatic When...
...you have made a tattoo of his face on your body.
I don't think anyone has done that, has he/she?

Cool story, McD. I'm envious. Alas, the situation is very different today than what it was in the late 90s. He's more shielded than the Pope, it seems, and only gives out rare interviews to the MAJOR news outlets in the US. He was shielded then too, but he's almost unapproachable today.
I didn't know things were that bad! It's a shame, as given his cultural position for the last 40 years, there's not enough known about the man himself. Truth be told, I've never read an interesting interview with him (and I didn't buck that trend). I also tend to think that Spielberg would have produced a documentary on his friend and collaborator by now, and the fact that he hasn't suggests Williams doesn't want one. I've never thought much of his film tastes, but he's clearly a highly educated and intelligent fella away from music, and his thoughts on film music and music in general - if he was to open up - would be fascinating. I tried to get a comment on Titanic, which had just taken his record for best selling score of all time (Celine Dion apparently doesn't disqualify it), but failed. It must have doubly hurt that he'd turned down that assignment, due to the travesty, imho, that was The Lost World. Talking of...
You KNOW You're A JOHN WILLIAMS Fanatic When...
...you detest The Lost World with a passion, but buy the ridiculously overpriced briefcase-sized DVD boxset because it comes with another version of the CD soundtrack... finally in a jewel case!
